As a follow on from my earlier post about being blown away by the ability of ChatGPT to write programs from simple English commands, this article from the Conversation discusses ChatGPT and other 'generative' AI's and their effects on the creative process.

It has an interesting discussion about creativity.
'the process of execution is a gift, allowing artists to become fully immersed in a task and a practice. It allows them to enter what some psychologists call the “flow” state, where they are wholly attuned to something that they are doing, unaware of the passage of time and momentarily freed from the boredom or anxieties of everyday life.'
This flow state is very real thing. I have heard a number of artists describe it, one used the phrase 'let your hands do the work'. I suspect it's a similar mental state to when sportsmen describe being in 'the zone'.

The technology’s focus on the framing of the artistic task amounts to the fetishization of the creative moment – and devalues the journey that waters the seed of an idea to its fruition.
