💡Author Struggles With AI's Impact on Creativity

AI's Impact on Creative Pride and Motivation

An author is experiencing a period of low motivation and self-doubt, attributing it to the rise of generative AI in the creative field. They argue that AI-generated art isn't true art and hope it remains distinct. Many programmers have felt overwhelmed by rapid changes, and the author feels that using code assistants takes away the joy of programming. Despite these challenges, they've created projects like an interactive git branch switcher, which they're proud of, but now similar tools can be ordered with prompts. The author's skills in game development may be becoming obsolete, but they continue to make a game engine in C++ for personal enjoyment. Their friend Shad is developing Uncamera, a camera app for iOS without AI, showing that there are still paths to pursue.
