creativity
In the story of the creation, God makes the world and everything in it in six days. On the
seventh day he rests. The day of rest is significant because it suggests that the creation
required a certain amount of effort on God's part. That some sort of artistic struggle
had taken place. This struggle is the validating impulse that gives God's world its
intrinsic meaning. The world becomes more than just an object full of other objects.
Rather it is imbued with the vital Spirit, the pneuma of its creator. ChatGPT rejects any
notion of creative struggle, that our endeavors animate and nurture our lives giving
them depth and meaning. It rejects that there is a collective, essential and unconscious
human Spirit underpinning our existence, connecting us all through our mutual striving.
