Creativity is either exploited by AI or capitalized for growth. It just depends on the game you play, and how you play it.

How does AI influence our creativity in our work?

The answer is that it depends.

In this post, I explore that question through the lens of chess vs. programming and how AI thrives in clarity but struggles in ambiguity.

Let me know what you think!

Oof, I guess I'm an AI. As a human who's not very creative at all your article bodes very poorly for my future in programming. Thanks for your transparency in telling us you are linking to your own blog.

Well, with that domain name I can't really hide it.

To your point, think about it this way: AI, at this stage, still need someone to tell then what to do. Whether you're good programmer or a bad programmer, AI still need you. Not until we get ASI, anyway.

I hope this makes you feel better?
