Imagination crisis. The people who understand how to architect software are spending their free time on social media saying "%%% IS INSANE" or something about "I one-shotted this %existing thing%".

The people who said building software wasn't the hard part before were right, you still need interesting problems to solve to find interesting things to build. Gotta get out of the tech bubble to find those. There aren't many interesting problems left to solve for other tech bros

Yeah, all of this power at our fingertips and all I see is "look I ported this 20 year old game to WebGL, and added Mario!" and other such unimaginative projects. There's very few actually novel / interesting things being built right now, as far as I can tell. For once I think you can blame our collective imagination rather than a lack of capability. Apparently creativity has not been solved yet, and being creative is still hard. And most people aren't up for it, which is the same state of affairs as before AI.

I would say that a lot of creativity comes from mulling over an idea in your head for several days, which AI completely eliminates.

		Very much this. AI removes obstacles and gets you unstuck, but this is a curse as well as a blessing.

I would also argue we are becoming less creative, due to our over-consumption of AI generated content. So many startups look the same nowadays.
