My Honest Thoughts on AI and Creativity

Everyone’s talking about AI — some are excited, some are scared. I’m a mix of both.

We’re watching something profound unfold. And I wanted to take a moment to pause and think about what this means for creators like me.

🤖 When AI Writes Code

Copilot changed how I write JavaScript. It’s not perfect, but it’s fast, and more often than not, it helps me write 90% working code that I then tweak.

Is that cheating? I don’t think so.
It’s like a pair programmer who never gets tired.

What matters is still the same:

• Understanding the problem
• Designing the solution
• Reviewing the code quality

🎨 When AI Makes Art

There’s something different about DALL·E, Midjourney, and GPT writing poetry.
Are these tools just remixing?
Or are they creating?

I think the answer is both.

And the more important question is:

“How do we evolve when tools evolve?”

🧭 Where I Stand

AI is not coming for creatives — it’s coming for repetitive.
If your creativity is just “repeating what you saw,” AI can already do that. But if your creativity is synthesis, insight, perspective — you’re safe.

For now.

📌 So... What Now?

I’m learning to collaborate with AI.
Like I use Git, VSCode, Tailwind, etc. — I now use AI tools to explore ideas, get unstuck, and write faster.

But I still hit “Publish.”

The final word should be human.
