Since when is creativity needed to create something? Or do you think clams are being creative when they create their shells? "Creation" and "Creativity" are different concepts, the fist is being responsible for a thing's existence, the later has to do with exploring the space of possible outcomes and finding something new.
I'd say humans are still the creators of these uncreative works.
You've got to consider broad trends for topics like this. You'll never be able to describe "everybody in a whole generation" as succeeding or failing and you'll always be able to find individual cases of success and failure.
So compared to the past, are more young people struggling with their careers or are more comfortable in them?
And while a pessimistic attitude doesn't help, I don't think it's the driving factor as much as a response.
They don't know how to use traditional search engines effectively, so they get CoPilot to look stuff up for them.
Considering the state of search engines these days, that one is the least surprising, but also the one that's potentially most harmful.
I've been reading "The Dawn of Everything" by Graeber and Wengrow and it's basically a long list of things we thought we knew about prehistory and are finding out we were wrong now that we have better tools and fewer biases. It's always worthwhile to make sure the narratives we've made up actually align with hard evidence and alter them if they don't.
Which classics?...Mecha anime that isn't Gundam just can't survive
Funny you mention that, Netflix has the '79 Gundam compilation movies and some others (SEED, Hathaway movie), and they made a new CG mini series.
I guess Amazon out-bid them for GQuuuuuuX though, if that's even how those deals are made.
Machies neither "read" nor "analyze".
Neither do you apparently. I never mentioned machines at all, and they're irrelevant to the point I was making.
That's frankly ridiculous, copyright never gave control over who was allowed to read and analyze a book, only who prints it.
but the association patterns of word usage in order to duplicate the creator's own mental associations.
There is absolutely nothing in copyright law that protects that. In fact it's the whole point of reading a book in the first place.
I bet we'll just end up using more bots to filter out the annoying bots. Of course those making the filter-bots will also deploy spam-bots to make sure their filter-bots are valuable.
"Ah, so you're a waffle man!"
Why do they always take the worst ideas from sci-fi to make into reality.
Reminds me of how I've heard young people use "out of pocket" to mean wild or unpredictable, my guess is they no longer have the context of "pocket money" because their payments are all digital so they confuse it with "off the wall" and "out of the blue".
Berulis alleged in the affidavit that there are attempted logins to NLRB systems from an IP address in Russia in the days after DOGE accessed the systems. He told Reuters Tuesday that the attempted logins apparently included correct username and password combinations but were rejected by location-related conditional access policies.
Berulis' affidavit said that an effort by him and his colleague to formally investigate and alert the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was disrupted by higher-ups without explanation.
As he and his colleagues prepared to pass information they'd gathered to CISA he received a threatening note taped to the door of his home with photographs of him walking in his neighborhood taken via drone, Andrew Bakaj, Whistleblower Aid's chief legal counsel, said in his submission to Cotton and Warner.
"Unlike any other time previously, there is this fear to speak out because of reprisal," Berulis told Reuters. "We're seeing data that is traditionally safeguarded with the highest standards in the United States government being taken and the people that do try to stop it from happening, the people that are saying no, they're being removed one by one."

The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following exclusive NPR reporting on sensitive data being removed from the agency.
Ranking Member Gerry Connolly, D-Va., sent a letter Tuesday to acting Inspector General at the Department of Labor Luiz Santos and Ruth Blevins, inspector general at the NLRB, expressing concern that DOGE "may be engaged in technological malfeasance and illegal activity."
"According to NPR and whistleblower disclosures obtained by Committee Democrats, individuals associated with DOGE have attempted to exfiltrate and alter data while also using high-level systems access to remove sensitive information—quite possibly including corporate secrets and details of union activities," Connolly wrote in a letter first shared with NPR. "I also understand that these individuals have attempted to conceal their activities, obstruct oversight, and shield themselves from accountability."
Just because you can make the LLM give an argument that a cabal of squirrels should be running a country doesn't mean the LLM should give that option equal weight when asked what systems could run a country.
If you're looking for an absurdly reductionist example of intelligence I'd go with a thermostat, because clocks don't respond to external stimulus.
Those two sources are increasingly becoming the same, and it's happening from both sides. The AIs are learning from reddit and reddit is being overrun by bots.
