what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?
what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?
what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?
what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

Aside from the obvious ways that OpenAI, ChatGPT and other LLMs have stolen from artists and creatives, I wonder… in what ways (and to what extent) have they stolen from you personally?
I’m writing an essay on the subject and curious to hear people’s thoughts and reactions to the question.

For example: When you use Google Maps, it doesn’t make you a better navigator.
In fact, it erodes navigational skill to the point of complete reliance on big tech for long distance movement of any kind.

The cycle with tech often is:
1) outsource and flatten a fundamental aspect of the human experience
2) fill the void (where human knowledge once flourished) with dependence on tech
3) if you can’t charge for the thing directly, mine and sell its data
4) profit and scalability at all costs

While being a good navigator, in this example, is a bit of an abstract and archaic concept, I am thinking about losses of that ilk.
Skills, abilities, and accumulations of human knowledge and experience that are taken from us, leaving us more helpless and reliant on big tech.

What do we lose when we outsource our conflicts in our partnerships, family relationships, and/or friendships to ChatGPT?

What happens when we lean on this profit-driven machine as friend, mediator, validator, therapist?
What hard won skills of conflict resolution are forfeited?
How do we miss the chance to grow closer and develop deeper trust with another being, as a result of moving through shared conflict?
