Thriving Through Change

I'm making a conscious decision about what I want to outsource because I already know how to do that thing. With my daughter, I'm thinking about it a little bit differently because she doesn't know how to do some of those things yet. So, if she automatically starts to outsource that, she'll never learn.

If you look at electric guitar, it’s just the electrification that technology adds a new sound. An acoustic guitar couldn't do it. So, it's technology augmented music and we all enjoy listening to rock music. So, why don't we see that AI may enable humans to do another level of creation that we were not able to do before?

I don't necessarily think artists are going to become obsolete, but I do think that if you stay on top of what can be possible, I think you're way ahead of the game. And I think it just makes you more dynamic and impactful in that way.

There's a general statement in business technology that says you you're not going to lose your job because of AI, but you're going to lose your job because there's other people that are going to use AI, right? And my theory is that's the same for artists, right?

We're really just hoping to have some meaningful conversations around the challenges that creative professionals are facing today. So, huge shout out to Adobe for being the driver behind this new innovative series.

I think it's important to point out that we're all going to have different opinions about AI, obviously, so there's not going to be one right opinion in this room. We're not looking to sort of land on what the answer is. We're looking to sort of jumpstart the conversation and hopefully keep the conversation going as a community.

Your mind is like a muscle and if you don't use it, it just stops working. And this is one of the worries I do have about AI is that it's making things easy. One thing I've learned in life, there's no free lunch. You have to work and you have to work hard and that's how you get ahead.

A lot of people here were using Texas Instruments( calculators) early on in middle school, high school. It's not like we're all illiterate in math, right? It's a tool. It depends on how we use it.
