Democratising the creative process

There's nothing new about embracing new technology

The story of a skilled practitioner embracing a new technology to create something novel and seemingly spectacular, which then splits opinions, is not new. We've seen it in film, music, radio, and print.

However, over time, the new approach, usually enabled by technology, becomes commonplace and is often replaced by a new iteration or leap. Is the emergence of Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPTs), powering the latest breed of Generative AI, any different?

Is it so radical that it will lead to the end of human creativity? In short, no.
If anything, it should unleash a new wave of creativity, helping further democratize the creative process. It makes it easier to visualize new snippets to incorporate, imagine new mashups, create higher fidelity scenes and objects, and help write new dialogue. 


In part, this is achieved by putting powerful tools in more hands, unlocking inventive thinking by people who aren't trapped by the rules and happily break them in pursuit of their passion. It also pushes the best to be better by embracing AI to bring their impressive visions to life. Because ultimately, we grow tired of how something was created and return to what was created and how it makes us feel.

If we ask the question again, not because AI is better, but because it's quicker at delivering acceptable results, the answer becomes much less clear.

It provokes careful consideration about our acceptance of mediocrity and the recognizable. It's easy to imagine a near future where a few pieces of exceptional human creativity stand out, supported by or competing with the exponential growth in AI-generated digital landfill, which achieves its intended job.

The question then becomes: why do we feel the way we do? What is truly important to us, and does it really matter who, how, and where it was created?

I then challenged Chat GPT for some suggestions….
