I recently came across an interview with the creator of Dead Space, a game that still sends chills down my spine. What caught my attention was his unwavering enthusiasm for AI. He’s ‘100 percent’ behind it, and his reasoning is surprisingly simple: ‘it’s here, just work with it.’
As creatives, it’s natural to feel threatened by the rise of AI. We worry that machines will replace us, or that our work will become outdated. But what if, instead of resisting AI, we learned to work with it?
## The Fear of Obsolescence
I think what scares us most is the unknown. We’re not sure what AI is capable of, or how it will change our industries. But the truth is, AI has already changed them. It’s here, and it’s not going away.
## The Power of Collaboration
Rather than seeing AI as a replacement, what if we viewed it as a collaborator? AI can handle the tedious, time-consuming tasks that take away from our creative freedom. It can analyze data, generate ideas, and even help us with repetitive tasks.
## The Future of Creativity
Imagine being able to focus on the high-level creative decisions, while AI handles the grunt work. It’s not about replacing human intuition, but augmenting it with machine intelligence.
## A New Era of Possibilities
The Dead Space creator’s enthusiasm for AI is infectious. It’s a reminder that, instead of fighting the tide, we can learn to surf it. By embracing AI, we can unlock new possibilities, new ideas, and new forms of creativity.
So, let’s take a page from his book and stop resisting AI. Let’s work with it, and see where it takes us.
