Abstract: This essay will take the reader through my personal musings that have been gathered through a 2 year long journey of working with generative image, video and audio creation systems, referred to popularly as Artificial Intelligence. I will try to make a case that this term is a misnomer, that the intelligence that brings about the results is the same old organic one with which humanity has manifested creativity throughout the ages – albeit, an organic intelligence that is now enhanced by a new and remarkably powerful tool. So powerful indeed that it can easily be confused with something that is intelligent / creative in its own right. But, is it really? After focusing on how these novel generative systems affect creative output, I will conclude by taking a broader look at how “AI” is increasingly affecting the world around us. I will do so, not as an “AI enthusiast” but as someone who looks upon the entire phenomenon with great apprehension and worry, despite the fact that I am deeply immersed in the creative process that this remarkable technology has brought about.
