Raw LLM Responses

There is this idea that I've only seen creatives express. Creative works have value based on the struggle to create them. They don't directly say this, but, they imply it with the other things that they say. It often goes against the very things that they search out. If it was just about the struggle, they'd use the worst possible tools. Yet, creatives search for what suits them the best. They find the ink that they like the most. The paints. The instruments. The keyboard. The app. My most appreciated, listened to, and valued songs came about effortlessly, as if I were kissed on the cheek by inspiration herself, and the muse spilled the song from my guitar and lips into my computer. Every song I've tried to pound into submission through endless struggle and effort falls flat. I don't think most creatives have really thought the AI thing through. For example, Brandon has spent time looking at his industry and his creative works - of which, I agree with what he's saying - but, at the same time he's fine with using it for search. Because he's correctly pointing out that google sucks now. But, it sucks because of another creative industry. SEO. The reality is that AI is just a tool. A hammer can be used for all sorts of things. Putting in nails. Joining boards. Breaking fingers. Hitting skulls. The application in its use is what matters. I use it to learn. I use it to act as a way for me to bounce ideas off of it. I use it as a semantic thesaurus (no other tool can do this). I use it to help me analyze sentences and paragraphs to help me understand what makes them work. I use it for research both for my job and for my creative work. I use it to help me code tools that I use every day (nobody seems to care about the fiverr coders). If you use it to speedrun the fun parts of the creative process, that's on you.
