AI the Pioneer of Creativity?

It has already been several minutes since the last AI-centered article, so I think it is time to bring it up again. You might say that it has become an inevitable part of our lives.

In the creative industry, AI is not just showcasing its capabilities; it's already actively participating. It is creating beautiful artwork, designing innovative products, composing music, generating animated ads, and even writing award-winning novels.

Artists have always sought new ways to push art forward. We’ve seen (among countless others) drawings built around spilled wine or street performers drumming on plastic pipes. One could say that removing humans from the loop might open a new frontier in art where AI can help humans transcend creative barriers.

Creations of AI can be enjoyable, but can it create specifically what you’ve imagined? In everyday work, we’ve already implemented AI in the workflow as a source of inspiration, sketch drawing, or storyboard creator tool. But it seems that at the current stage of development, you have to decide if you settle for what the AI has thrown out based on your command, or if you do it by your hand. You can also improve the generated creations if you want, but it might take more time to achieve the desired result than starting from scratch.

As for the near future, I assume as AI becomes more precise, it will slowly eradicate the low-cost tasks of design teams, stock materials, and everything where you “only need something like that”. You jot down a few instructions and you will use the one that hits close enough to what you were looking for. Also, I’m sure there will be software options to replace the ancient digital solutions of the 2020s. However, I don’t see AI taking over big visual, 3D, or animation campaigns and projects, where details, precision, requirements, and modification requests matter. The more specialized you are, the less likely you’ll be replaceable. And people will always have space in their hearts for unique creators.

But who knows, maybe this post was also written by a machine….
