I agree, mahines have never shown any ability in regards to creativity and intuition in the innovation process. That will be left to humans working in symbiosis with machines. As it has been since the begining of civiliation.

I think Issacson's book “The Innovators” is fantastic and anyone interested in these discussion should read it.

"One of the key themes of Isaacson’s book is the importance of creativity and intuition in the innovation process. While machines can provide computational power and analytical capabilities, they lack the ability to think creatively and come up with new ideas. Humans, on the other hand, bring a unique perspective and set of skills to the table that is critical for driving innovation forward. According to Isaacson, the most successful innovations arise from the intersection of different skill sets and perspectives, with humans providing the artistic and emotional perspective that drives innovation forward."

I think AI has the potential to make innovation more accesible and inclusive. For example, in today's age an individual cannot compete in virtually any field with a large corp. But imagine in the near future a single developer with a very good idea could use AI tools to turn an idea into a product without the need for an army of developers or artists.

I think AI will allow us as humans to turn our ideas into reality much more effeciently than before, and in turn "flatten" the playing field to the extent were new and unique ideas will be more valuable than the execution of an army of workers.

I wrote a blog on this a little while back if you want to read more about my thoughts or more like musings on this subject.

Nobody knows. The complexity of the systems at this scale are inhertiently unpredictible. But capitalism is the primary driver behind AI. I doubt it will disappear, change maybe.
