All this talk about AI and automation worries many people about their lives and relevancy. But I think the most worrisome thing is when they are replaced by machines who can do what they do. For hard labor, it has been a concern for centuries, but artists never really think that creativity can be replaced. Stories and visual arts were not to worry that they might lose their jobs, until today, when AI and machine learning can do better than the average human.

Well, it is scary when you lose your professional work, wealth, and your source of income. Skills that you have acquired by investing in education and portfolios for many years could be just gone. But I think, people ought to find their relevance with other people and face challenges to be more creative than the machine. We are, after all, perfect with our imperfections. Unlike machines we can get bored, we can break the rules, and we can make something out of the box, as long as we realize what the box is and where it is.

In a world where AI and automation are becoming increasingly prevalent, it’s crucial for individuals to adapt and embrace the changes rather than succumb to fear and anxiety. While it may seem daunting to imagine being replaced by machines, there’s still a unique and irreplaceable aspect of humanity that sets us apart.

As artists, writers, creators, and thinkers, we possess a profound capacity for imagination and emotion that machines cannot replicate. Our ability to express nuanced feelings, tell captivating stories, and convey the depth of human experience is what gives art its soul. No matter how advanced technology becomes, it will always lack the essence of true human expression.

Moreover, it is important to note that AI and machine learning are tools that have the potential to enhance and amplify our creativity, rather than diminish it. With the right blend of human intuition and technological assistance, we can push the boundaries of what is possible and embark on new artistic endeavors that were previously beyond reach.

Ultimately, our worth and relevance as artists are not solely determined by our technical skills or current job market demands. It is our unique perspectives, emotions, and ability to connect with others on a deep and meaningful level that make us indispensable in this rapidly evolving world.

Writing is not just about expressing myself, but also a way to organize my thoughts and emotions. While AI can assist with some aspects of writing, I believe in the power of human creativity and the joy of expressing myself through words. So I will keep on writing, and building connections with my readers.

AI can never replace human experience and human needs to make art. And art will always find a way to be more creative than ever, always opening new doors and possibilities.
