Nihilism in the AI Era: When Claude and Codex Make Creation Within Easy Reach
AI has made writing code and building products within easy reach, yet the author has fallen into nihilism because of it: OpenAI released over seven hundred mathematical manuscripts overnight, and after spending nearly 24 hours finishing his draft, he felt only emptiness.
