in my limited experience using LLMs for side projects it has been a massive creativity cultivator rather than a creativity killer, to such an extent that I don’t understand this take, but perhaps my use case is more nuanced/limited than most?
I see it like this: if you weren’t going to be creative in the first place and you’re just grasping for slop to check a box then there’s no loss, perhaps even a slight gain of creativity, if you are fully engaged in being creative you can now prototype things and preview them and spin off ideas that compound and refine and inspire new ones so much faster so the overall creative output is accelerated both “horizontally and vertically” to borrow from compute scaling imagery
