"When we create art we are being social. We use our brains to create something and then give it to the world. What we should also consider is that when other folks see a painting, or go to a play, they are joining in the creativity as well. When we see a play in a theatre, we are participants as much as the actors are. We suspend our reality to watch a story’s reality. We take part in a contract with the actors during the duration of the play. We create a space together.
"When we read a book, we’re imagining the world and the people that story takes place in. Even listening to stories we’re imagining worlds, we’re participants as we aren’t passively taking it in. It’s all sharing our time and imagining. It’s social.
'This is the reason AI feels wrong to so many of us who create. It’s not social at all. There’s no play, there is no collaboration, no empathy in the process. It’s not social at all."
