“Will slop end creativity” of course not, but it may drive it underground and into hiding, away from the usual places. Those who know where to look will still find legitimate human creativity happening though, and it’s never going to go away. If anything, the pressure may make it even stronger.

If most people are no longer being creative, find the people who are. If most people are no longer making art, find the ones who are. If most people are no longer writing books, find the ones who are. If most people are no longer working towards a better future, find the ones who are. The human spirit of creativity and ingenuity is relentless and indomitable. It will never be completely stopped, not by anything short of extinction.

Granted, we may yet end up there. But I’m desperately hoping it will not be anytime soon.
