machines won’t replace us

I think we’ll realize that the early text-to-image “prompt-based” era of GenAI undermined creativity while the “controls” era unleashed human creativity in unimaginable ways. the tools evolve, but creative vision, precision, taste, and skills will be more vital than ever before.

AI generated content will answer a question until now was impossible to answer: How much of our enjoyment of art is about the art itself, and how much is it about a connection to the artist?

It’s very exciting to see all the progress with agents. But we shouldn’t get swept away by the hype just yet. In most cases there will be a human in the loop for a while. Compounding errors are real and agents continue to need human guidance. Also inference costs are still high.
