Something to think about here is that like, are you still creative when you’re just the one pruning things? Perhaps even a gardener feels creative?

Also thinking more about whether an AI is passive or active in the creative space. It seems like the harder the problem, the more people turn to AI to think for them and treat their answers as authoritative. Is this a bad thing? How much of something being easy is good for you? This ties back into the whole notion of creativity, and so that’s like a fundamental question. Maybe if it frees you up to think new things.

One concern I have is that having AI help you think will atrophy your overall critical thinking skills, and that it could lead to more group homogeny. Even if you feel creative, then the group suffers since we all think the same thoughts. This seems inherently opposite from the actual creative act where it’s a lot of isolation and then you don’t feel that creative, but when everyone is put together, it’s more creative than the individual.
