Typo: I think a “be” is missing, as in “be swallowed”.
I see the entire corpus of mankind’s creative output as a tiny ship, a gnat really, about to swallowed by a towering ocean wave.
Anyway, thanks for the nicely written post! I think I’ve had a similar feeling lately. If we’re getting surpassed by machines in every intellectual task, maybe the only thing left to do is… just enjoy life for its own sake?
Actually, AI dominates chess, yet humans still enjoy playing it. I’d say that’s because the fun is in interacting with other people, rather than in beating the game. Could it be the same for writing?
