AI Made It Easier— But The Creative Is Now Questioned

The technology made it easier, easier for everyone— AI made people move faster, and helped them with their time. AI did this, AI did that… AI gives you access to the creativity that won’t come out of your mind. You pretend that it was yours and that the world believed it. Yes, sure AI did that. But isn’t it the other way around? AI gave you an illusion, the illusion that will now make you confused between reality and technology. A few decades ago— creativity was worshiped, surely some people believed that it was a waste of time but nobody questioned whether it was yours or not. 

But What Changed?

I am actually very confused about what to say anymore? Because I don’t know what changed either— is it the em—dashes that cause people to doubt that it isn’t yours or the bold keywords that do that. There are many people who never even touched a piece of your content and just assumed that it wasn't yours. Is it the lots of fancy terms or phrases that amuse them to assume that it can’t be written by an actual human? Humans are dumb, they don’t know what to write, a piece of terrible quality of content will get the ownership, authority and the right to call it their work because it’s not perfect. While the well written piece will get the suspicion, uncertainty, and the hesitancy, just by the format or the perfect bold keywords. The content will be questioned even without any observation— just by one glance on the format that seems too perfect for a human to write. 

Why Is It Important?

Nothing is important if nobody cares, you won’t care, I won’t care, nobody will. Nothing makes sense, nothing is important, one day— I will die, you will die, everybody will die and nobody will remember it…. But in the meantime, as long as we are alive— I am allowed to feel and you too. Nobody is flawless, but not everybody is flawed. People can have speciality, people can be experts, they can be talented, and they can be skilled. You can be good at something that others are not. 

I believed this theory too, until I didn’t. When I first started writing, it was my favourite hobby until it wasn’t— I changed the hobby part with my career. I thought I could be a writer. Well, I believed that I will be a writer, that I will be a very famous Author and people will love me, but now I doubt that. I was in 9th grade I believe, when I wrote my first work— it was just a quote, nothing so special about it. After that, when I was heartbroken, I again wrote a poem, or can be considered just a song that nobody heard. Writing gave me hope that one day— I will tell the world that I am special too, I will tell the world that I have suffered things that nobody can even imagine. But of course, many people had it worse— and I thought I could be kind, lovable, humble, and still have that rage inside me. I am not wrong though, it is still inside me. but deep down— I am not humble, I am not brave, I am not strong and kind and whatever that makes people special. I am just me, the one who isn’t heard. The one who isn’t known, one that nobody wants to believe. I am an easy target, you can even tell the world that I never existed, and the world would believe you rather than seeing me because it’s easier. 

After feeling all of it, I wrote my feelings on paper and believed that if not me then my words will get the justice— but I was wrong. Just like my feelings, my works also got questioned, just like nobody believed in me, nobody believed my work. Except few of course, there is always an exception. AI can write, AI can detect, AI can rewrite, rephrase and even help you with passing AI detector tools— AI can do everything. Nobody needs us— or it is just that nobody believes us anymore. Because, let’s be honest, humans can lie— AI don’t, humans can make mistakes, AI will never. 

What is True and What is Myth?

AI is genius, Humans are dumb, AI knows languages, Humans have none, AI can research, humans can just copy or cheat. AI has the format, humans just paste, AI can brainstorm and Humans can not be the one. 

Draft got praises, Final got questions raised and in the end— it was my feeling that is still suppressed. But, yes— AI made it easier, easier for who? The one who never asked for it? I admit— I use AI, I am working in the corporate world— who will not? Your agency, your organisation and seniors are preferring and want you to use it and produce tons of content that doesn’t even make sense. And to live a life in this economy— we cannot refuse it because somebody will surely say yes. AI never made it easy but pushed us to the level where a human writer won’t even imagine. Imagine, you promised yourself to never use just to get asked to write 5000+ words pieces of content— nobody can do that without having technology. 

But when it comes to choices, not even one writer wants someone else writing their actual feelings, because having time and feeling will never force a writer for their work to be written by an AI that surely doesn’t even understand it. 

When I first started in corporate, I promised that AI is limited to that, and this Liana The Writer is an escape and exceptional for that. I make content, I create a safe world, I share my feelings, my perspectives and assume that my readers will love.

But in the end, the perfect format is questioned, the perfect grammar is suspect, the quality is unbelievable but nobody notices that the feelings are unnoticed, and the writer is just too stunned to even speak or defend themselves when the world already believes— the right answer between the wrong one.  

When AI didn’t exist, writers used idioms, punctuation, they bolded the important words, they had a format, and they surely had trust. But now— the dynamic changed, people get lazy, they don’t read anymore— they just show uncertainty and question your words even without reading or understanding the meaning behind it. 

What AI Actually Did and How People Use It Against You? 

The one who cannot write or is insecure will never believe that people can actually write or express themselves. Do you know how many times I wanted to end everything and just vanished? Every damn time whenever someone looks at my novel and reads the vary monologue about how my character feels and then asks if I used AI, because duhh— I am human, and I am dumb and how can I have the ability to express someone’s miserable life. Because, that’s only an AI can do it, right? But can an AI tool do the justice and tell the world about how I am feeling right now? Can AI create a very rageful content about how this world is full of people that will not even have the time to read— even the first para and just assume that AI wrote it. That is what AI did, AI gives an excuse for people to not just ignore someone's feelings but also gives them a reason to question it as well. 

Someone wrote their undying love, someone wrote their nightmare, someone wrote their dream, an ambition, an experience, the thought that eats them in night, a phrase that made them realise their life's worth. And in an old school, where nobody knew AI— surely praised them, encouraged them that they could be the one. But then AI became famous, a necessary, a convenient and a tool that everybody loves to talk with. And then everything just vanished. The courage, the trust, the motivation— but there is still one thing that can never end and it is rage.

In the end, I am just asking for everyone to consider before questioning— because some contents are not just a creativity or a piece of paper with phrases, it can be someone’s opinions, someone’s experience and even just a feeling that they want the world to know and relate to.
