Is AI the new muse—or just a motor for mass creativity? 🎨
A new study tracking 31,000 digital artists over 27 months has finally given us real data behind the hype.

The results are surprising: AI doesn’t make artists more creative—it makes them faster.
It acts like a creative accelerator, letting people generate more ideas, more often. But there’s a catch: when productivity skyrockets, average novelty drops. More art, less originality per piece.

Yet, there’s an unexpected twist. When open-source models like Stable Diffusion appeared, creativity became democratized. The top 10% of elite artists—once responsible for 35% of all novel works—lost their monopoly. Suddenly, a vast “hive mind” of creators began expanding the frontier of new ideas.

So maybe AI isn’t a muse whispering genius into human ears—it’s a motor expanding the universe of possible ideas. 🚀

The question now is: will we ever unlock true human–AI synergy, or will the future of creativity simply be a numbers game?

🎙️ Listen now to The Myth of the AI Muse – where we separate myth from data and uncover how generative AI is reshaping the creative frontier.
