An essential part of this work lies in its creation process: although I could have coded it myself, I used artificial intelligence to write the code. This choice is integral to the piece’s exploration of emerging technology, highlighting the tension between opportunity and dependency on artificial intelligence. As we increasingly rely on AI’s processing speed and vast knowledge, humans are relegated to an intellectual minority, defined by our slower cognition and manual skills. This act of co-creation with AI reflects a fundamental shift in creative agency, offering a lens through which to examine how technology both empowers and redefines the role of human intellect in the modern era.
