Med en hverdag i større og større grad preget av AI, blir behovet for kreativ utfoldelse større.
Følelsen av kreativitet er absolutt til stede, men med AI går den på høygir, og om man ikke stadig får påfyll av den gode kreative flyten i det samme høye tempoet kjenner man fort på at noe mangler. At ting går for sent, at man blir sulteforet. Har man først drukket fra kreativitetens springflod blir man fort uttørket når den reduseres til en liten piplende bekk, om enn bare for en periode.
Jeg har den siste tiden kjent på at jeg har et større behov for å søke andre måter å få kreativ utfoldelse på, i et mer nøkternt tempo. Et tempo som ikke står i fare for å trene refleksene mine til å forvente samme kreative motorvei som AI legger opp til.
Og dette er egentlig positivt, tror jeg. Det tvinger meg til å se på nye veier, nye ting å ta meg til, som kan fylle tomrommet etterlatt etter at trafikken på AI-motorveien har passert, frem til neste rush tid. Jeg kan finne mye nytt å nyte den stillheten med i mellomtiden.
Akkurat derfor spår jeg at mer fysiske, kreative hobbyer og håndverk vil få en ny renessanse når AI-hverdagen stabiliserer seg. Folk vil både ha tid, men også et sterkere behov for å utfolde seg kreativt der jobben kanskje tidligere gav mer enn nok.
Kan det kanskje til og med føre til et løft for kunst og kultur, heller enn at AI skal være dens dommedag?

Warnings have always annoyed me. Stickers on music packaging. Viewer discretion is advised. The opinions expressed in the following program are those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect those of The Network. This article contains things that might be triggering. This contains graphic details. The video may be disturbing to some viewers. Alcohol and drug use. Violence. Nudity. Smoking. Profanity. Images of death and destruction.
Watch out cupcake. Buckle up buttercup. You might have to suddenly feel something.
What the hell? What next? Watch out, the jump scare part is coming in 10-9-8-7... lol. In the next scene someone is not wearing a shirt. I guess for me all the warnings should have a warning. Proceed carefully, this contains a warning that some might find annoying and pointless.
Recently I saw a warning at the start of an article about the sentencing of an old rich white deviant. It said that the story contained details about sexual assault. Well, yeah, frankly, I assumed so by seeing his name in the headline. He's an old rich white deviant. One of many.
The warning should have been, this article might bring you joy in knowing that a piece of human garbage gets to live out the remaining days of its life with the knowledge that everyone now knows what many suspected all along. That he is indeed a terrible human being who did terrible things.
His tiny defective brain couldn't deal with the excessive amounts of wealth and power that his failure of a company gave him. It turned him into a monster. He likely would have been an awful person even without wealth and power, but the wealth and power gave him the illusion that he could just do whatever he wanted to anyone whenever he wanted to do it. These things should have ruined him and sent him to jail decades ago.
His narcissism will likely not allow him to truly believe he did anything wrong. He can likely still sleep at night. He most likely won't ever view his victims as victims. Sorry and guilt are not installed in his software. Will never truly understand the ramifications of his actions. The false narrative that he clings to will end when he does.
He will not likely ever go to jail, but at least he will live out the rest of his miserable life with the thought clinking around inside of his empty can of a skull that people think he is a horrible person who did horrible things. I don't know if that is justice, but I guess it is better than nothing? As close as we can get to justice with disgusting people like him.
Maybe if there is ever a justice system south of the border again some of the monsters in the Epstein files will have a similar fate.
