AI is the kill switch on the human imagination

I grew up being told I was basically doomed. Our generation was inheriting 20% interest rates, resource scarcity, overpopulation, ozone holes, and nuclear war.<p>I&#x27;m tired of it. Somehow we always seem to find a way. It&#x27;s time to be optimistic.

No. I don’t think this is true.<p>The PC was always meant to augment human intelligence. Consider what we lost with “calculators” vs slide rules. And what slide rules took from mental math.<p>We have a new “partner” in design and creativity. It’s sad when something we did becomes automated and the economic impacts - but this is just another tool to learn and use.<p>Maybe we can finally stop with tired Hollywood remakes of things? Maybe we can shake ourselves out of writer’s block quicker?<p>We are a still a part of this story. It’s not a kill switch but it makes us do things differently?<p>At least I hope so.
