AI taking over the creative arts never made it into those 80s and 90s dystopian sci-fi movies.

But here we are: generative AI is already proliferating fast, educational institutions are scrambling to identify AI-avoided original work, and tech companies are now hiring for "prompt-writing skills."

Time and again we open Pandora’s box without thinking through the longer-term ramifications of our short-term curiosity.

AI is here to stay. The question isn’t whether — it’s how we move forward with it, before we have to run from it.
