Oh it will lead to crap, as most people are lazy, so they will just let AI do everything and become their voice, instead of using it to support their voice and vision.

BUT - for people who utilise the tool to lift their work, I think it will let them shine.

For example the cover of this article would be beyond my abilities if it wasn't for AI, and would cost a lot from a professional artist. AI has allowed me to create a cover that I believe is one of my best covers yet. 💗

Yeah well I can see this happening, however where my doubt is if this should really be considered a new "age" on par with "the industrial age" or "the information age", looking at its magnitude and breadth/depth of impact. I'm a bit skeptical there, I think the industrial and information ages were more transformational than the 'creation' age will be.

But yeah okay, always interesting to philosophize. Maybe rather than the "creation age" it's simply gonna be the "AI age", that's a notion that would sound more compelling to me - by now it's becoming obvious that the impact of AI is going to be massive, and arguably it's going to impact more than what could be captured under the moniker "creation".

But yeah it could well be that what you mean isn't exactly what I mean, that we're just having some semantic confusion ("words" or "terminology").
