Hello, My name is Joshua Ader. I grew up in Waikele (Oahu) with my parents and a sister two years older than me. I graduated from Hawaii Technology Academy in Waipahu and started attending UH West Oahu from my freshman year of college. If I were to be an artist's tool, I would be a whiteboard, as it represents a canvas that can be filled with many ideas, easy to modify and change as time goes on. Things change over time, and so does our drive to create and our ideas in our heads.
The implementation of artificial intelligence allows it to perform tasks for humans with its nature to surpass and exceed natural human abilities. These pieces of advanced technology have already entered society to help us in the form of self-writing data machines, allowing us to create documents of information for papers, and self-driving cars, allowing us to sit back and relax during the ride of an auto-piloted vehicle. Whether it is because artificial intelligence is faster, more accurate, or just allows us to rest aside while the machines do all the work, we as humans start to become more reliant and dependent on automation, resulting in us being lazy or failing to gain and learn new skills, abilities, and knowledge, doing us humans more harm than good.
The concept of creativity has come a long way. The Old Greeks would call those creative forces muses, other religions referred to them as God. Today people still mostly treat creativity as an aha moment outside the area of influence. However, just by looking at the creative process one can tell, that creativity and creative work is more than just that one "Aha-Moment" (insight). It is clear that generating ideas demands planning and preparation, identifying something of interest like a problem, an opportunity or a challenge, doing research. This then leads to thinking of a solution, allowing time to incubate and iterations before arriving at something “complete.” Students learn that hard work is what makes their ideas come to life and sticktuiveness is what helps them get better.
