Just Keep Creating

There's a lot of talk going on around AI and how it's things become faster and easier to create and build. Now instead of spending the countless hours at the keyboard typing out the next great American novel, you can open up ChatGPT. Digital art more your thing? Don't worry it can do that too, and if you're lucky, any humans will have 5 fingers. It's depressing, really. So much AI slop is now out there, everyone is trying to sift through all the junk to find the real stuff, the stuff we want to read, want to look at, want to admire. And none of this even begins to factor in the environmental costs to all of it. Well I have one thing to say to everyone grumbling about that, keep doing your thing, keep creating.

I want to read books written by humans. Fiction, non-fiction, funny, serious, all of them. I want to watch TV and movies made by humans, acted and voiced by humans. I want to play video games designed by humans. I want to enjoy art that was made by humans. I want to listen to music written and played by humans. Art, books, music, everything is so much better when we make it ourselves with a human touch, with our talents and lived experiences. And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. There are many like me.

What this means is that keep making your art, keep writing your stories, blog posts, thoughts. Keep building your fun little websites and apps. People like me want to see, read, watch, stare in amazement at all the amazing things you, and everyone like you create. Don't let all the AI slop discourage you from being creative. AI and LLMs sadly will not be going away anytime soon, no matter how much we might want them to. It's important that our creative endeavors continue to persist.

Just. Keep. Creating.
