AI didn’t end art It just exposed how much of it was copy-paste all along.
Creativity didn’t die the day ChatGPT went mainstream.
What died was the illusion that everyone had it.
If a robot can write better than you in thirty seconds, maybe it’s not the robot’s fault.
AI Didn’t Kill You. Mediocrity Did.
When people say, “ChatGPT is killing creativity,” what they really mean is: “It’s killing my shortcuts.”
For years, whole industries were built on recycled templates. Self-help blogs that sounded like Pinterest. Tech articles that could’ve been stitched together from Google’s first page. Motivational speeches that read like a watered-down TED Talk transcript.
Then AI showed up and did it faster, cleaner, and cheaper. The curtain dropped.
It wasn’t creativity that collapsed. It was mediocrity finally getting called out.
Creativity Isn’t “Content.” It’s the Wound Only You Can Write From.
ChatGPT can write a neat essay. It can spin out bullet-point “10 tips” like a machine gun. It can even fake a poem if you lower the bar far enough.
