AI shaping the death of human creativity?

When will we grow tired of prompting?

AI is the talk of the decade. And personally, I haven’t stopped thinking or talking about AI Music-Services like Udio and Suno, which truly have ramped up their applications’ creative possibilities, with the recording industry fighting back tooth and nail. Personally, I experiences waves of panic whether these services will forever impact my future career as composer and producer.

It perhaps comes as little surprise I was hugely inspired and excited reading

‘s “Expect Heavy Turbulence” article here on Substack, clearly describing the festering doubts which surround AI advancements globally, touching on points such as Nvidia’s next-generation chip delay, power-grid exhaustion, overall industry AI scepticism, AI companies burning through cash and witnessing an AI Model Collapse here: AI being trained on AI results turning into gibberish.

As I delve into in my forthcoming book, “Novelty and Empathy”, I contend that groundbreaking technologies must adhere to universal principles of empathy towards both the user and society at large in order to achieve long-term acceptance and widespread adoption.

I believe AI's current focus is primarily on the individual user rather than the broader societal implications. Additionally, there's a lack of transparency around its development and use.

Similarly on the Blockchain - While cryptocurrencies may offer benefits to individual users, their value proposition for the average person (old lady in the supermarket) remains doubtful. It is essential to consider whether AI could similarly become a technology enjoyed by a select few, with limited relevance to everyday life for many.

With this in mind, is there a risk of prompt-fatigue setting in? Could this potential limitation redefine the landscape of AI as we know it?

Aren't we all fundamentally human-beings out of flesh and blood, bound to the physical world with its mundane yet essential tasks? When will we collectively decide that enough is enough with the constant digital distractions in our lives?

Thank you for reading, thank you for caring.
