I totally understand your point, but I believe that this is a very personal perspective. My friendship with Peanut, for example, started when he joined The Uncanny Country Club. I was already a super committed member, and he joined with all the love and intent and gave a lot to the project. The project is virtually dead at the moment. But I met a guy there, who introduced me to another guy, and another guy, and in a chain of events, I am currently working in one of the biggest crypto marketing agencies. So, I consider that I have received back what I gave to communities. Our late-night video chats do not directly pay my bills, but they made me the type of guy who can make money for the expertise of being a crypto native.
Peanut is growing steadily and attracting more and more people to him. He is probably already getting the fruits of his commitment, not to mention the intangible love and consideration that I am sure that he receives from several genuine people and helped him through many difficult times. So, everybody is paid. Even if it is only with experience.
But this is only my positive perspective on it. I also have my sad/dark moments when I feel everybody is double-faced and crypto is a huge Ponzi-scheme/slow-rug industry. Reality is probably a synthesis of those different feelings.
I find it of very poor taste that people are trying to leverage on workers loosing their jobs to call attention. I mean, are you that cynical? Is this what crypto became?
I believe that creativity is connected to capture a sentiment and translate it into something that is tangible for others. You get a perspective, an angle, that trespass several layers of human experience, and connect different subjects from a pool.
AI can do that, for sure. As my 5 yo kid can paint a canvas that would be hanged on Louvre, and maybe sold for millions. Might happen.
Intelligence and feelings are on opposite sides. Thinking too much will prevent you from feel, and feeling too much will prevent you from thinking clearly.
AI can get there, I guess. Can't feel, but could capture hints in a given perspective. Mainly as our society moves towards a global pasteurized system of soulless scrollers. It will probably be able to capture some general perceptions eventually in a more sophisticated way.
As we stop feeling, experimenting the world, the artificial (limited) creativity will become more powerful.
The maximum of creative expression will appear when you felt enough and was inteligent enough to capture it in a frame that you can share. Unavoidably requires feeling. And we are feeling less, so the artificial version is getting closer.
@chrisdotsol@sns@aomdotsol We all know how committed you've been with the Solana ecosystem. I am sure that you will receive the support you deserve and things will be fixed.
Novelty and vanguard can never come from AI. Creativity is when you can read all the data around you and use your subjective skills, experience, and sensibility to translate it into a relatable idea. It can only exist among humans. AI is a data and operational tool, a remarkable one, and disruptive. But it is not creative. And marketing is about creativity.
