Creativity has always involved effort, shaping how we value artistic works. Historically, the struggles behind creations, like van Gogh’s tumultuous life and Beethoven’s deafness, imbue these works with profound meaning. However, with AI’s ability to create effortlessly, questions arise about the genuine value of such works. The influx of AI-generated content raises issues around ‘aesthetic inflation’ and the potential emptiness of art lacking a human struggle, challenging our understanding of creativity and its significance in human expression.
Across centuries, human creativity hasn't only been valued by the works we produce, but by the struggle embedded in its creation.
AI disrupts this equation entirely. If a machine can generate a symphony in the style of Beethoven or an essay in the voice of Hemingway, does it carry the same weight?
