The mere thought that AI/LLM can replace creativity is itself absurd. The more I use it at work, or even for personal projects, the more I realize that LLMs are very, very far away from replacing any creative fields. It doesn’t mean that it can’t enhance that creative world or writing you are doing, but the question is “what exactly is it enhancing?”. Well, it is one of those “it depends on the perspective or context, and on where the user wants it to enhance.”

LLMs themselves are helpless without human guidance when it comes to the creative field. I wouldn’t be surprised if models being used for GenAI are constantly flooded with insanely long prompts just to get what the user wants. But it isn’t even about the act of generating art or stories. The question everyone should be asking is what is the cost of all of this in general… To get the BEST LLM model, you need insanely amazing hardware that nobody can afford. And yet, even the best coding models on the best hardware still fail to make a proper solution for the issues at hand.

All in all, no, I don’t think AI will replace human creativity. That won’t stop corporations from trying though… I just wanted to throw my thoughts out there and forgot I own a blog I author from time to time.
