[Weekly Retro] Creative revolution
#49 - May.2024
Happy Friday!
💡 Here is a quick idea before you head off for the weekend:
I’ve been reflecting on this new era of creativity empowered by AI. Some ideas that are bouncing in my mind:
- Access to powerful technology like AI has never been so easy. This will level the game for businesses, but also for every single person aiming to create something great.
- Creativity is what matters; not only the technology. You can invest in the best technology stack but you should be equally focused in ensuring you develop your creativity skills.
- The magic will not be on machines making autonomous decisions, but rather the seamless combination of human intuition and the leverage we get through these technologies.
- This new creative revolution will reward people who are curious enough to explore, iterate, and discover new possibilities through AI, using this technology to multiply their human abilities.

Moravec's paradox
“Moravec's paradox is a phenomenon observed by robotics researcher Hans Moravec, in which tasks that are easy for humans to perform (eg, motor or social skills) are difficult for machines to replicate, whereas tasks that are difficult for humans (eg, performing mathematical calculations or large-scale data analysis) are relatively easy for machines to accomplish.”
