Regarding AI, Then Art

Monday, April 13, 2026

Good morning, Twfw. O/

A so much to say morning...

The kind that leads so many writers and artists to what's called: A Block.

Creative standstills aren't caused by a lack but by an abundance. There's simply just so much to be inspired by, how to choose?

But the point isn't the topic; it's the act of creation.

You're a writer not a 'topic picker.' Just write. Get writing.

Good sentences will come, but only by writing.

Great sentences will come, but only by writing more.

Onto more.

There's a pull often to write regarding AI. A curious subject for a poet... perhaps not.

There's already a good amount on the site regarding AI.

I never use it for my work, nor could I. Using AI is playing a video game, not writing... certainly not painting or making music either.

Art requires a human being; it's non-negotiable.

But artists of all varieties know this.

My creative friends, we must be ready.

Science is making Scientists obsolete. AI simply does a better job at Science than Scientists are able to do. Our nerd friends will all need a hug and new sense of purpose in a generation or two.

It's the relationships with what lives that makes life worth living.

Sorry... a robot husband or wife can never bring happiness or love regardless how well-designed.

Life-like is not Life.

Consider the difference between a spouse and an exact robot AI replica.

What's lacking from the droid is what Life is all about...

Welcome to what Art is all about.

Take care and make that wonderful day.
