The discussion around AI and its implication on humankind is a bless. Before AI, the discussion of the limitations of the mind was kept for very limited groups of people and disciplines, but it was mostly out of context and relevance for the broader humanity. But now, day by day, it becomes nothing less than existential. To ask the question of human relevance in the creative process—any creative process—when AI surpasses human thinking capacity, human imagination capacity, and obviously human data processing capacity—I'm not saying it is or it is not—but to look at the question assuming that that's part of the equation, that the superiority of machine intelligence is unquestionable compared to one's own capacity, some say also compared to the collective.
But to keep it to yourself and to ask what's your relevance as a creator of any new value, any innovative creation. That question, if it is not asked, it's literally irresponsible—being irresponsible—to oneself and to the contribution to humanity as a whole. Because human consciousness, as one field, must awake to the question. It's an alert. It's an alarm. It's something that, no matter what, should not be avoided, that human consciousness will ask: what is its role in the creative process, in creation, if machine surpasses its capability? Is it really comes down to being an operator of the machine or to be blank, a servant, services of the machine? Is it that?
And when you look at those people that you take as leaders that claim, without any hesitation, that the future, for example, of the employment market is to learn how to serve the machine, to feed the machine, to train the machine, to teach the machine, and then let the machine teach itself, and that becomes our role. And where do you think all this is heading to?
Now, why don't you ask that question as an existential question today? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid to find out that prevents you from truly asking this question?
This is my question to you. And the answer is not important for me. It's whether you will take that question, make it your own, and go with it in your way. That's what matters to me, to you, to humanity.
Because it's the whole field of human consciousness that needs to open to the question of the unique essence of the human creative intelligence. Does it even exist? And if it does, what's the place of it in the field of total creation that becomes quickly dominated by machine?
