    Not sure how to ask this question, but do any of you envision AI leading to a non-AI "renaissance" of sorts, creatively speaking? Renaissance is a dumb word here I know.

    We're still kind of in that place where AI art, video, imagery, and music is EVERYWHERE and growing, and where amateurs with limited music making, art making, video skills can make stuff instantly.

    But do you think we will come full circle where despite the access and ease of making those things, true, from-scratch, intentional, take-taking creation will be seen with far more value and interest over any AI created output? A sort of shunning of AI creative? A greater emphasis on the process and time taken to do it?

    I'm brain-rambling but I guess I keep imagining a place where proof-of-process, and I guess more intentional creation becomes the desired or enviable method of making something creative. I'm hesitating to say "analog creation" because of course art, music, video are so often made with some or all aspects being digital. Do we have a word for non-AI creative output? Are there words that help distinguish between the two?

    Case in point: I can't stand them, but that band OK Go with all the wildly imaginative videos. I'm willing to bet that AI video could do plenty of what they've done, and if not it's not too far off. But the real appeal, I think, of their videos was all that went into some of them. Effort, building, choreography, etc.

    If there's a value placed on the process, the "analog" method vastly outweighs the write a prompt, press a button and wait approach. Anyone disagree?

    That's where I hope things go. We're in that "overuse and abuse" phase not unlike when IG photo filters and the like were used constantly, even among good photographers. Everyone seemed to be using them, then it sort of leveled off and authenticity / minimal edits became more widespread.

    Authenticity is guess is a good word and there's certainly room for debate as to what it means when using AI creatively vs. no use of AI.

    Thoughts? Anyone else ponder this?
