No, AI won’t kill creativity

Recently, I was in a conversation about artificial intelligence with a friend who is a famous illustrator. As the conversation grew online, other creative professionals joined us, lamenting what they believed to be the death of creativity and art.

creativeness, noun ability to generate or use original ideas

I also added that AI shouldn’t be perceived as a competition but as a tool for our time. I said that ChatGPT would not transform anyone into an expert journalist, and Midjourney would not make me a professional graphic designer because I lack the skills. A graphic designer got emotional. “Midjourney? “Midjourney?

While I can understand and share in part some of these concerns, I do not believe AI is ready yet to take over our jobs or kill creativity and/or art.

Here’s why.

This article could be very short. I’ll link it to ChatGPT. This article shows how AI cannot perform a job if the user doesn’t have the knowledge to do so. For those who don’t want to click: I asked ChatGPT write this article. The result was:

Dull
Superficial
Wordy
Even more dull

The result was the same despite using a variety of prompt engineering techniques. It is possible that I could have achieved a better result if I had spent a few extra hours on this project. By then, however, I would have finished the article and, given how many kilograms of apricots sit on my kitchen countertop, hopefully, be halfway through my annual project to make apricot preserves.

Large Language Models can help me with my work, but they cannot do it well. This is true of all AI models currently available, including chatbots, image, video, sound or music generators.

Text-to-image software will not make me a designer or an artist, as I lack the vision and background knowledge to create a visual. I could use all the Midjourney servers in the world, but still not produce any impressive visuals.

You won’t be able to save yourself if you don’t understand what constitutes good written content. ChatGPT and Perplexity are not the tools for you. They are great for writing simple emails or communicating with Airbnb hosts, but not for writing the next Harry Potter.

AI will do your creative work if you are bad at it

AI will certainly take over certain jobs. I’ve seen job listings for AI content writers, who “write” hundreds or dozens of posts per day. Although technically these would be blog posts I doubt that we’d want to read them. Midjourney would make a great illustration for my website.

AI can replace creatives who are not up to par. Some project owners are looking to save money, so they want everything as cheaply as possible. The same people who hired the nephew of a neighbour to design their company website, and paid 15 dollars for the entire content to a high-school graduate. The company is going to use AI, but in the past they didn’t hire good creative professionals.

AI already at the Museum of Modern Art

Refik Adnan, a Turkish artist who works in new media, has created a monumental AI installation called “Unsupervised”. He used AI to create this stunning visual, using 200 years worth of MoMa artwork as a prompt.

[TAG1]

“Anadol trained an advanced machine-learning model that interprets the publicly available MoMA collection data. The model “walks”, reimagining the history of art, and dreaming about what could have been. Anadol then incorporates site-specific information from the Gund Lobby of the Museum, such as changes in light, motion, acoustics and weather, to affect the constantly shifting images and sounds.

How could we possibly say that AI kills creative thinking? How innovative is this? This is a great idea! This is an example of the need for humans to ask the right question so that AI can give the correct answer. Asking the right questions takes creativity and curiosity.

AI Improve the performance of healthcare professionals with AI

AI is bringing the true art of medicine. We’ve discussed this before. As a criticism, it is often stated that AI is “black box” and we do not know how we arrived at the results we have. Deep learning algorithms and models are getting more complex. This will certainly become a reality in medicine.

AI can identify new treatments, drugs and therapies through matching combinations that physicians, pharmaceutical companies or medical innovators never would have considered. AI could come up with completely new solutions without explaining how they were developed.

Intelligent algorithms could provide answers to questions without explanations.

The true art of medicine is then to decipher the logic that led AI towards a solution. This will require high levels of creative problem-solving and cognitive skills.

The Medical Futurist published the article No, AI won’t destroy creativity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an alternative form of medicine?

Alternative medicine is a term that covers any treatment approach that is not conventional. There are many different forms of alternative medicine. Most are based upon the idea that health care should not be dependent on chemical medicines.

Alternative medicine includes acupuncture, homeopathy, herbalism, naturopathy, osteopathic manipulation, traditional Chinese medicine, reflexology, shamanic healing, spiritual healing, prayer, energy healing, aromatherapy, meditation, yoga, chiropractic, massage therapy, Reiki, and various types of psychotherapy.

Many alternative practitioners claim that their therapies result in better health outcomes, including improved quality of life, fewer side effects, reduced costs, and greater patient satisfaction. These claims cannot be proven scientifically because the mainstream medical system has largely ignored evidence-based alternatives to medicine.

What are alternative medicine examples?

Alternative medicine refers to treatments other than those considered by mainstream medicine to be useful for treating disease. These include traditional Chinese medicine as well homeopathy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, nutritional therapy and reiki.

Alternative medicine may also refer to practices not based on scientific evidence but used successfully in clinical practice. Meditation, yoga, aromatherapy and reflexology are some examples.

Complementary and Alternative Healthcare – Does it have Evidence-Based Basis?

Although evidence for complementary and other medicine is still being developed, there are many benefits to these treatments. They may have tried standard treatments but found them ineffective. They may also want to try alternative therapies as they believe they offer better results than conventional care. Alternative and complementary medicine may be an option. This is part of a holistic approach. Always check with your doctor to ensure that any complementary and/or alternative medicines you take are supported scientifically. If you aren’t sure if a particular treatment is safe or effective, consult your doctor. It will save you time and money over the long-term.

What is the importance of alternative medicine?

Alternative medicines are very popular because they’re often cheaper and better for you than traditional treatments. Many patients have died due to side effects or allergic reactions after using these treatments. Other therapies might not work.

Alternate medicines can be dangerous, especially if you don’t know enough to choose the best ones. Vitamin supplements, such as vitamin pills, are not controlled like pharmaceuticals. Therefore, it is possible to overdose. Other remedies, however, can be toxic.

What is the distinction between holistic medicine, alternative medicine and holistic medicine?

Holistic medicine treats the whole person: body, mind, spirit, and soul. It considers all aspects a person’s wellbeing, including the emotional, spiritual, as well as environmental factors, that are often ignored by traditional medicine. Alternative medicine can be used to treat certain conditions like asthma, allergies, arthritis, or other medical issues.

Who uses holistic medicines?

Holistic medicine treats the whole person and not only specific symptoms. It addresses both the mental as well as physical aspects of well being.

Holistic medicine also includes chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, nutrition counseling, yoga, and various other complementary therapies.

A holistic approach to medicine includes those with heart problems, cancer, diabetes, arthritis or depression.

What are the 5 domains of integrative medicine?

Integrative medicine encompasses five domains: mind-body; nutrition; social determinants; lifestyle and prevention. These five areas cover all aspects of health care including spiritual, physical, and environmental well being.

Integrative medicine aims to provide a comprehensive approach to addressing overall health, wellness, and disease treatment. It can include conventional medical treatments, as well as complementary therapies, such as acupuncture or yoga, meditation, massage therapy and herbal medicine.

Statistics

category.[111]Edzard Ernst characterized the evidence for many alternative techniques as weak, nonexistent, or negative and in 2011, published his estimate that about 7.4% were based on “sound evidence.” However, he believes that may be an overestimate. (en.wikipedia.org)
According to the World Health Organization, 80% of people use herbal medicine worldwide. (webmd.com)
The concept of regression toward the mean implies that an extreme result is more likely to be followed by a less extreme result. (en.wikipedia.org)
These studies found that 38.4% concluded positive or possibly positive effects for CAM (12.4%), 4.8% concluded no effect, 0.7% concluded harmful effects, and 56.6% concluded insufficient evidence. (en.wikipedia.org)
In 83% of the cases, the readers agreed. (en.wikipedia.org)

How To

What are the 4 types of complementary or alternative medicine?

The main categories of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are mind-body, natural products as well as manipulative therapies. Mind-body medicine encompasses yoga, Tai Chi, Reiki and massage therapy. It also includes homeopathy, homeopathy, aromatherapy (reflexology), naturopathy biofeedback, Hypnosis, hypnosis, and chiropractic care. Natural products are herbs, vitamins, minerals and dietary supplements. Manipulative treatments include physical manipulations, including acupuncture, chiropractic, and osteopathic treatment. Praying and visualization are two of the methods used to heal energy.

CAM is an umbrella term for various health practices outside traditional Western medical models. These practices differ in how much scientific evidence they have, whether they involve drugs, surgery, or which conditions they treat. Some CAM practitioners may also prescribe medication and perform diagnostic testing (e.g. blood tests). Others do both.

In addition to these four primary categories, there are many subcategories within each category. For example, within mind-body medicine, there are relaxation techniques, mindfulness training, guided imagery, self-hypnosis, yoga, qigong, Tai chi, deep breathing exercises, meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, stress management, biofeedback, and visualization. Natural products include nutritional supplements, botanical remedies, homeopathic remedies and essential oils. Manual, movement, manipulation, electrotherapies and soft tissue mobilization are some of the manipulative therapies. There are many spiritual healing options, such as faith healing and prayer within energy healing.

Many CAM therapies treat symptoms, but not the cause. However, CAM may provide relief for some chronic diseases. If used in the right way, CAM can supplement conventional treatment options.

There are many different reasons people use the CAM.

To improve their overall well-being.
To manage a specific condition.
To reduce discomfort or pain
To prevent illness.
To promote wellness.
To address a personal belief system.

Some people use CAM to have more control over their own health than traditional medicine. They might believe there are fewer side-effects. Some people choose CAM to not take prescription drugs. Some people prefer not to use pharmaceuticals. Many people also seek out CAM because of bad experiences with traditional medicine.

Some people who use CAM say they want to be sure about what they are doing before trying something new. Many CAM users ask questions about the safety and effectiveness of CAM. Others rely on the word of mouth among family and friends.

Although CAM is sometimes viewed negatively in society, many users have positive feelings about it. People who use CAM are more happy and healthier than those who do not. This is true regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, income, education level, occupation, insurance status, or other factors.

The majority of Americans use some form of complementary and alternative medicine. 95% of adults have used CAM at some point in their lives. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), approximately 40 million visits were made to CAM providers in 2010 alone.

According to the NCCIH, 10 percent of Americans use chiropractors, massage therapists and acupuncturists.3 This compares with only 2 percent who use medical doctors.

2013 was a year that the American Medical Association (AMA) reaffirmed its support of integrative medicine. It stated that doctors should incorporate scientifically validated complementary and alternative medicine into their clinical practice to meet patients’ expectations and needs.

The Institute of Medicine published a groundbreaking report in 2007 entitled “Relaxing Contraints: Improving access to Complementary and Alternative Healthcare.” It concluded that there is no credible evidence that any particular CAM intervention is effective in treating or preventing cancer.

CAM continues its popularity despite the fact that it has been proven to be very popular. 2008 saw a 8 percent increase in the number of CAM professionals compared to 2007.

A recent survey found that almost half the respondents said they used CAM as part their primary healthcare plan.

CAM therapies can include natural products, mind/body practices, manipulative methods, energy healing techniques, exercise, dietary supplementation, and other approaches.

Many CAM therapies are used primarily as pain relief. But, many offer additional benefits such relaxation, improved moods, better sleep, decreased stress and enhanced immunity.

Acupuncture can be used to relieve back pain, anxiety, depression, increase immune function, promote weight loss, and improve menstrual symptoms.

Many CAM treatments are based on traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, and their roots go back thousands of years.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), for instance, originated over 5,000 years ago. This practice has been in China since antiquity.

TCM was only in the mid-1800s that Western science gained prominence. However, it is still an important part of modern health care.

TCM treatment is now used by over 70% of American citizens.

Yoga is another popular CAM therapy. Yoga was developed in India circa 5000 B.C. It is now accepted all over the world.

Yoga has been gaining popularity with the general population because it provides many physical, mental, and spiritual benefits.

Yoga can relieve stress, improve flexibility, and increase strength.

Although limited scientific research has been done, yoga may have beneficial effects on sleep33.

Other CAM therapies are also gaining acceptance in mainstream medicine, including meditation, homeopathy, and aromatherapy.

Herbal medicine is one the most commonly used types of CAM.

Herbal medicines can include herbs, spices, plants, seeds and fruits as well as bark, leaves, roots, stems, and other medicinal substances.

They are often considered safer than prescription drugs and are used widely by consumers.

The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health estimates that about 90 million Americans use some form of complementary/alternative medicine.

According to the American Cancer Society 45% of adults with cancer used alternative medicine during their illness.

The National Institutes of Health has estimated that 60% of patients with breast cancer use CAM. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that around 50% of all cancer survivors reported using CAM.

According to a recent study 51% of cancer survivors used at least one type CAM.

However, only 8% of these individuals discussed this use with their physicians.

This is a serious problem with healthcare delivery because there is not enough communication between conventional medical practitioners and CAM users.
