Technology's role is not to replace human creativity but to reveal new facets of it. This understanding offers a framework for evaluating new technologies like generative AI: Do they enhance our capabilities while respecting our agency? Do they serve our creative intent or demand we serve theirs? Do they allow our authentic voice to flow through them, or do they try to replace that voice with their own? How we answer these questions has everything to do with whether we encounter gen AI in a spirit of anxiety and skepticism or one of creativity and play.
