It is refreshing to see a viewpoint that prioritizes human creativity and expression over menial tasks in a world where technology is taking over. Joanna Maciejewska’s quote encapsulates this beautifully: “I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.” Her remarks draw attention to an important point that is all too frequently missed in the rush to automate our entire existence.

Prioritizing human creativity and expression over menial tasks in a world where technology is taking over.

AI doing the things I didn't want it to do

I agree.
AI was supposed to be created to replace basic and tedious task like cooking for dinner or mowing the lawn, not trying to replace creative jobs.
Because, in reality, AI can’t be creative. it is just conditional statements and data.

Perhaps AI can replace the bay area “futurists” known as e/acc, so that normal people can enjoy XYZ.
Maybe we can automate Marc Andreessen too.

AI will never be as creative as humans, because all of its prompt responses are based off something already on the internet, nothing’s new after all
In every single image/video generated by AI I can’t see something vivid, it’s just lifeless and disturbing
