“When asked to rank the most important workplace aptitudes of this century, top CEOs reported that 'creativity' is rapidly rising up the hierarchy of valuable human skills. They rated it the third most important in 2019, up from tenth in 2015. For the first time, creative thinking is on the same playing field as people management, complex problem solving and critical thinking.” -Greg Orme (The Human Edge)
Creativity is the only tool we have to beat Ai. Information has been and will continue to be a commodity. Anyone can do a Google Search or ask ChatGPT what to do solve a problem and instantly get their answer and expect it to be 100% free.
The secret lies in what you can’t Google, or what Ai will never be able to grasp, and that’s your creativity. It what makes Humans valuable and has for centuries. But sometimes bosses don’t want creativity, they want a butt in the seat doing the work they don’t want to do for as little money as they would do it for.
The only way to fight that power is to create and do so for yourself and yourself only. Creating for other people is fine, as long as you don’t let other’s determine your worth or the worth of your projects. They are part of your soul, and while they can by the outcomes of your creative thinking, they can’t buy your soul, the source of that creativity.
Until Tomorrow,
