Brad Frost coins the term 'Creative Infinite' to describe AI as a fundamentally new creative medium — one where anyone who can articulate an idea can produce something from it with almost no friction. Using the example of his 8-year-old daughter vibe-coding a playable browser game in 5 minutes via Claude Cowork and Three.js, he argues that barriers to creation have fully eroded. He acknowledges AI's real concerns (IP, job displacement, misuse) but focuses on the unprecedented creative potential: inputs can be anything, outputs can be anything, and the process can be iterated indefinitely. He also notes that existing creative skills compound with AI rather than becoming obsolete.
