No one’s saying creativity will completely die, but experience tells me that when a function isn’t completely necessary, many people forget.

When the internet came, libraries became less necessary.

When print came, cursive became unnecessary.

When kindles came, physical books lost value.

We can be optimistic about it, but it will have an impact.

Bad thing? Who knows. Major changes in life? Absolutely.

It’ll make life easier, at the cost of losing certain skills we have, that’s how it’s been happening for a while now.

Give a man a calculator, why would he do math in his head?

Teach print, why write in cursive?

Give me a library on my phone, why have a physical building?

All of these things exist, sure, but to say that all change is positive is… not good. People make mistakes, not all modern advancements are for the good of humanity, or the individual.
