But this relationship, just like any other, depends entirely on the boundaries we set and follow today. Will we use AI to enhance and improve our human experience, or will we let it diminish it, making us complacent and lazy?

Think about it like this: We already choose to drive two blocks instead of walking, letting convenience override what's better for us. Will AI become another way to avoid life's most basic experiences, or will we use it responsibly and in ways that truly improve our lives?
Do not get me wrong: I'm a big fan of AI. I think it has a lot of good in store for us. But I also have a good understanding of human reality, where we'll often reach for what's easy instead of what's right.
And I also have a good understanding of the business world. If we don't have to pay good artists to make good art, where do the artists go? There is a social pressure right now to have corporations pay graphic artists for their work, rather than jumping to generative models. Rightfully so.
We must maintain this social stance, ensuring AI enhances rather than replaces meaningful work. Many people find deep fulfillment in creative and skilled labor - we shouldn't eliminate these opportunities for mere efficiency.
AI should tackle what's difficult or impossible, helping us live better lives, not act as another market force that strips away people's joy and security.
The goal is to use AI wisely: to handle mundane tasks, spark innovation, and solve complex problems. But we must actively protect spaces where human creativity and craftsmanship thrive. This technology should expand our capabilities, not shrink our opportunities for meaningful work.
