In the age of AI, we must protect human creativity as a natural resource
Briefly

The rise of AI technology is outpacing the value of human creativity, risking the oversaturation of synthetic media that drowns out unique human expressions. As AI models increasingly produce content, they threaten to homogenize our cultural landscape, replacing rich and diverse creative expressions with mediocrity. Human creativity is limited, nurtured by lived experiences and personal insights, making every individual a unique knowledge engine. The urgency to protect the human creative ecosystem cannot be overstated; its preservation is vital for maintaining the richness of cultural diversity amidst the flood of AI outputs.
The AI-generated content may soon exceed the entire corpus of historical human creative works, making the preservation of the human creative ecosystem not just an ethical concern but an urgent imperative.
Creativity comes from making connections, and it takes energy, time, and insight for those connections to be meaningful. Until recently, a human brain was a prerequisite for making those kinds of connections.
