I am, for the most part, worried.
Feeling as if though my knowledge on creativity, whether that be 2D or 3D, is ever so fleeting from my mind with each passing day I work at a grocery store.
Every day I come home exhausted, unable to bring myself to work on things I love.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Every Windows 11 PC is now an Al
PC with Copilot at the center of
it all.
Here's how to get rid of Copilot
completely from your computer
(1/3)

ABI Bouhmaida
@forgoodcode
1/ Settings App
> Personalization
> Taskbar
> Other System Tray Icons
> Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off
This hides Copilot from your
taskbar

$(9) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 2/ Press Win + R > Type in ‘regedit’ > Navigate to "HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie s\Microsoft\ Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot’ > Right-click on the new key EY > DWORD (32-bit) Value$ @forgoodcode
3/
> Name the value
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot’
> Double-click the name of the value
> Set the "Value Data" to 1
> Restart your computer
Congrats! Copilot is now completely
gone from your computer.
Hope this helps

All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good.

Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output.
Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity.
Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention
