Dave wrote a great piece about friction, and Matthias pointed out something rather important that followed from this:

The frictionless version of creative work isn’t faster creative work. It’s no creative work at all.

(From: The Shape of Friction · Matthias Ott)

I could not agree more. Bringing in experience and judgment (and, imo, intentions) is what makes works meaningfully creative, removing that leaves us with very little left.

Have been nodding along to this post, that touches on a lot of the themes I plan to bring to Beyond Tellerrand in November:

as AI gets better at mimicking human communication, the pressure on human creators to be weirder, more original, and more authentically human will only increase.
