The Algorithmic Constraint: What Data Metrics iProhibits Creative Intentions

1. Distorted Content Under the Crave for Traffic

Industrialized Clickbait: Many smart apps selectively impose articles, posts on viewers, for which those content always titled with shocking or frightening expressions such as "You'll Cry After Watching" or "Exclusive Online" on daily basis. Tests by an MCN showed that such titles increased click-through rates by up to 60%, but user retention sees a dramatic drop by 42%. Inciting that solid quality doesn't rely on the volume of views and/or exposure but rather the ability to convey clicks into subscriptions as well as geniune approval and support from users.

Viral Template Replication: TikTok's "Three-Step Camera Movement" was repetitively utilized and turned into some assembling lines where approximately 32,000 creators, have generated, posted and shared over 1 million videos per day, the vast majority of content were ultimatelty similar. Shifted TikTok's remarkable social status into an online manufactory, alike those real life factories, for which they yield millions of specific objects mundanely.

Loss of Emotional Authenticity: An Adobe research report found that over-reliance on AI-generated emojis reduced creators' ability to convey genuine emotions by 36%.

2. Creativity Declining Caused by Tool Dependency

Decline in Editing Skills: Among users of automated editing tools like AutoPod, 83% admitted they "have forgotten how to manually adjust transition pacing." Over dependent on such automotive tools releases people from repeated manmade tasks, which can be easily viewed as tedious. However, the news mirrors the downside of excessively using AI, which is obvious that people's average manual skills become less proficient, this can consequently weaken people's general abilities of working o their own by their hands.

Creative Muscle Atrophy: An experiment at a film school showed that students who relied on AI script tools scored nearly 30 points lower in the criteria of story originality. This leads to more serious topic such as whether AI generated tools should be permitted for students to utilize as their "legal assistant" during examinations and assignment completions. Similar to the senario discussed above, again, it's about over relying on AI, which is definitely undermining people's willingness and capacity to contribute to their very original thoughts and works, regardless of identities, occupations and other factors.

Embracing the inevitable Human-AI collarbration while remaining self integrity

Despite it is determined that AI will immerse into more aspects of human live and civilization in both micro and macro extent, it's crucial for us humans to remain our own individuality and integrity, such that we can still manage to get things done while we can't sole rely on any AI tool. Moreover, mixing AI and human ability is another resolution to many cases. Here are a list of tips to gradually achieve hobbies which is built in a fairly healthy relationship with AI.

1. Fostering Your Independent Mindset in the Data Age

Creativity is always a key to remain one's own integrity. While using AI tools for many tasks and other daily routines, one can always reserve 2 hours each day for "AI-free moments". Set up a plan or schedule a todo list ahead. Whatever affairs that can be, leave yourself alone and try completing everything by yourself. This can ensure your task completion skills to prevail and train your individual creativity to keep your brain operating without being disturbed by external factors such as AI. Such combination of manual and creative thinking capacities will allow you to always remain your own individuality while dealing with massive and complicated info influx.

2.Developing Algorithm Resistance

As the digital age continues to evolve, algorithm will presist and coexist with us humans. Espcially on any connected internet, algorithms, driven and evaluated based on human and/or entirely AI, will always interrupt with our original motive while we surf online. To give a simple example, we mostly "happen to" browse news based on big data algorithm. The algorithm constantly and actively collects the data based on our viewing histories and will keep alloacting similar content to our platform accounts. Which can often trap us into Info Cocoons.

In order to counter such turbulent data chaos, one can, and should approach any information differently. Either reducing the time browsing in between multiple social media and/or news website; or setting up a limit for clicking number each day, minimizing one's exposure to the vast internet ocean of countless data can build their logic thinking, decision making and workload management once they are concentrated on solving real world issues. At the end of the day, irrelevant info presented by data algorithm constantly distract people's attention and undermines the working efficiency.

While discussing the passive effects brought by data, algorithm and overdozing AI tools, there are also enumrous benefits AI can share with us. Utilizing AI driven machine to reasonable extent will boost our working productivity, while decreasing a sizable portion of repetitive manually enforced workload. The following section will introduce some particular examples of human-centric AI masterpiece.

Algorithm Counter-Manipulation Strategies

Use ChatGPT to generate 20 titles, then manually craft the 21st to break the mold (Case: Knowledge creator "Ms. L" achieved 100 million views with Quantum Mechanics is Not Mysterious).

Hand-draw keyframes after generating 100 concept images with AI, breaking the digital feel (a technique used in the Black Myth game trailer).

Innovative Tool Combination

Import Runway-generated assets into DaVinci Resolve for manual color grading, helping an independent director earn a Sundance nomination.

Retain certain proportion of "imperfect" human touches in Descript's automated edits to enhance authenticity.

Summarize: always remember to leave human written & manufactored tracks such that the content seems more virgorously human. While using AI as to speed up the entire production process.
