Jack Butcher shared a video he made 6 years ago, reflecting on how the statement "you can make anything on a computer" has taken on a new meaning in the era of infinite intelligence for $20/mo.
He highlights a paradox: while AI drastically lowers the barrier to creation, making it possible for anyone to build anything, it also creates a saturated environment where standing out becomes the new challenge. The post sparks a discussion on the redefinition of creative value when technology becomes ubiquitous.
