AI Does Not Belong In The Creative Industry

here’s the truth AI is actually incredible. It’s pushing humanity forward in ways we couldn’t even imagine a few years ago. For example,

look at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. This thing is designed to scan the entire sky over and over again, taking millions of images and processing massive amounts of data. No human could ever handle that level of information.

AI is what makes that possible it detects patterns, tracks changes, and helps scientists discover things like new asteroids or cosmic events way faster than before.

And it’s not just space. Look at protein folding and what DeepMind did with AlphaFold. That solved a problem scientists struggled with for decades predicting how proteins fold. That’s huge for medicine, biology, everything.

So no AI is not the problem. AI is powerful. AI is useful. AI is changing the world for the better.

But here’s my problem.

AI does not belong in the creative industry at least not the way we’re using it right now.

Because creativity is not just about the final result. It’s about how something is made. It’s about what you felt when you created it. When you paint something, shoot a video, or build a scene, there’s a story behind it.

Maybe cuz i know a little bit about filmmaking but for me, when I watch a movie, it’s never just about entertainment. I don’t just sit there and “have fun.” I’m looking at everything the lighting, the color grading, the sound design, the camera movement.

I’m thinking: how did they do that? Why did they choose this tone? What were they trying to say?

And when there’s a crazy shot that just hits right I stop and think, wow, this is amazing.

And not just because it looks good, but because I know someone thought about it, struggled with it, built it piece by piece.

That’s the part I connect with.

Now imagine all of that is generated by AI.

I can’t appreciate it the same way. There’s no story behind it. No human struggle. It’s just output.

And that’s my problem.

AI should help us like it does in science, like it does with telescopes, like it does with protein research.

It should expand what humans can do, not replace the human part entirely.

And that’s the thing. AI is going to follow the same path as history. If you look back at electricity when it was first discovered, people used it just for fun like in theaters ,they didn’t see the bigger potential yet.

And that’s what’s happening now.

Right now, we’re pointing AI in the wrong direction.

AI is not the evil here.

We are.
