Generative AI is a calculator for creativity. Just as most of us don't do long division or calculate a tip at a restaurant, we now no longer need to do as much manual writing or drawing. #GenerativeAI

In the end, it's usually the output that is more important than the method in which you got there. And most important is what you do with that output. The real trick is combining it into something new that's helpful for people.
