Age of creation, hmm ... if all of the "creativity" is completely auto-generated by AI and "bots", then creativity rings quite hollow to me - what's are "creative" people supposed to do, just fill in a few "parameters" and then press a button on the ChatGTP page?
Apart from that, I'm doubtful regarding the demand for all that creative output - we're already couch potatoes by way too large a degree, do we really want to "consume" EVEN MORE digital content?
Saturation will quickly set in, while we're all gasping for a breath of (real) fresh air, and to get out into nature and "reset" from our excessive screen time (this is also the problem that I see with things like Meta's "meta verse" and stuff like that).
I have the feeling I don't want an "age of creation" - what I would like to see is an "age of solutions" - creative (yes) and effective solutions for the myriad of problems mankind is confronted with. Now THAT would inspire me ... but "age of creation", no I think I'll pass.
Accessibility Specialist. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
You misread it. It is the "creation" age, not necessarily the "creativity" age.
We have created something that can, at scale, create "new" (depending on your philosophical perspective) things.
As for whether this will yield more "crap"...I think I agree it will. But it also opens up new opportunities for people who have a vision, but not the skill or financial resources to make it happen, to explore new possibilities.
New opportunities, but inevitably at the expense of some extra noise and some displacement of existing skill sets.
So I believe it is all about framing.
For me, the noise and mess we will have to deal with for a while until we find ways to counter mediocrity and high volumes of rubbish will be offset by the new ideas it will inevitably spark! 💗
Yeah okay I see what you mean ... personally I'm not really getting warm & fuzzy feelings about this, it's not a development that makes me optimistic.
I'm indeed afraid that we're gonna see huge amounts of "crap" and I doubt if it's going to improve our lives in any way or shape, to put it like that - I think it will just add to the tons of distractions that we already have - tons of mediocrity within our "mass culture" and social media, and we're already wasting huge amounts of time "consuming" all of that, so it will only get more ... yeah just call me a pessimist in this regard.

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").
