According to @mcuban, Gen AI can generate pages, notes, and pictures, but that output alone does not make finished stories, music, or art, reinforcing that human creative direction remains critical for quality content (source: @mcuban on X, Dec 16, 2025). He emphasized that creatives with an open mind who harness new technology will better reach their audiences, while those who resist risk falling behind, pointing to competitive advantages for AI-enabled workflows (source: @mcuban on X). He illustrated a history of tool adoption—from VHS camcorders and multi-deck editing to early DVHS workflows for HDNet—to show that artists consistently evolve their process with new technology (source: @mcuban on X). He added that the share of young artists not using every available technological tool is dropping by the minute, indicating rapid creator adoption of Gen AI in production workflows that can drive sustained usage of AI tools (source: @mcuban on X).
