If you’re doing something that’s never been done before, how can you make the perfect plan? Whether it’s an art concept, a picture, a business model, or a meal: you can’t. Innovation, by definition, has no road map. Important: the same goes with creativity. That’s why I like people who “do” and fail, a helluva lot more than people who just sit around and talk about it.

Randy Nelson of Pixar says it more eloquently. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.”

I think this–and many additional ideas in this video–are brilliant.

The show's logo is displayed on the left side, with "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE" in bold black text inside yellow rectangles, stacked vertically. The right side of the image features a robotic figure, resembling a humanoid robot, meticulously working on a canvas. The robot is painting or drawing a grayscale portrait of a human-like figure. The robot's detailed mechanical components are visible, and the scene evokes themes of artificial intelligence, creativity, and technology. The background is minimal, allowing focus on the robot and its artwork. The composition suggests an exploration of AI's role in creative processes.Is AI the End of Creativity or Just the Beginning?
