A shared argument: AI will surface millions of people with ideas they could never execute — stories without films, products without designs. Evidence includes a 2023 MIT study of 453 professionals showing AI users finished writing tasks 40% faster with 18% higher quality, and a 2024 Science Advances study showing participants with low baseline creativity gained 10.7% on originality ratings with AI assistance. The claim: creative output so far is just the visible tip of humanity's creative potential.
