Now we know on one level that didn't happen. Maybe the people hiring a portrait artist to paint a portrait of them, maybe that market has declined a little bit because of the camera, but it didn't get rid of creativity. In fact, a whole new field, a new creative field, not only existed, but it democratized art in some ways where more people could do artistic things.
But now AI is going to make that much more accessible where you can start to do movie quality production for a hundredth or a thousandth of the cost that you might've before. Now, once again, I don't think it's going to put creatives out of work. It's going to allow more people to have creative expression and that the good stuff is going to surface. In fact, it's a lot like podcasts or YouTube.
I think you're going to see something very similar happening with AI. And the other thing I emphasize is, you know, creativity isn't a zero sum game. It's not that like, let's say you and I, let's consider ourselves creative people. Each of us by ourselves can be creative. reasonably creative.
These were both democratizing. And yeah, they have in some ways threatened the traditional media establishment, but they've been good overall because there's a lot of creative people who couldn't break into the traditional media establishment before, but now they can self-publish on a podcast or self-publish on YouTube and the world discovers them.
But if you and I are able to chat about things and brainstorm together and riff together, I think we're each going to become more creative, not less. I'm not just going to say, oh, Hala has got good ideas. I'm just going to check out. I'm going to say, oh, I love Hala's idea there. And well, what if we did this too?
I think any of us who consider ourselves reasonably creative recognize that our most creative times in our life were when we were around other creative people. And so I think AI is going to democratize that.
where there could be a young girl in Afghanistan someplace, and she's not even allowed to go to school, but if she has access to this, she could brainstorm, she could riff ideas, she could test ideas. Now, it'll be even better if it could be with the AI and other people around, but you might not have that. And so I think AI is going to actually be an enhancer for creativity.
I also think it's going to lower, if today you are, I didn't even allow myself to think that I might be able to become a filmmaker one day. And I was like, who gets to make a film? They cost tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars. You got to know the right people, et cetera, et cetera. But now AI is going to make that much more accessible where you can start to do movie quality work
production for a hundredth or a thousandth of the cost that you might've before. Now, once again, I don't think it's gonna put creatives out of work. It's going to allow more people to have creative expression and that the good stuff is going to surface. In fact, it's a lot like podcasts or YouTube. These were both democratizing
And yeah, they have in some ways threatened the traditional media establishment, but they've been good overall because there's a lot of creative people who couldn't break in to the traditional media establishment before, but now they can self-publish on a podcast or self-publish on YouTube and the world discovers them.
I'm here with my son, and I'd love you to tutor him on this math problem, but don't give him the answer. You can ask questions and nudge him in the right direction, but I really want to make sure he understands it himself. And he's here in the room, so you can talk to him directly.
