So I'm hired by a broker to find angel investors to invest in an AI startup.

After watching the presentation that they prepared, I think my mind was blown by how far generative AI is going.

The question I have now is, what kind of value proposition can I honestly assign to such a thing. The AI guru they hired has a background in Google and he's telling all the fancy shit. But my thought really goes down to, how do you value creative work from here on out?

Say when a writer writes a story or screenplay, you use the time that it takes to write that shit and form like the absolute bottom basis and then formulate the potential of such a book and whatever. Because regardless how good or bad the story/screenplay is, it takes an x amount of work to have that thing done.

But in AI, all you need is to feed the character, the background and context that you are trying to portray, the AI spit out a full story within mere minutes if not seconds. Sure, we can debate how good the story is and whatever, but the value of time is shattered.

Of course, the presentation is carefully crafted to make it seem as cool as possible, but still... if it takes the system seconds to come up with the end product, and we can actually profit from it by charging the client just a dollar or two on it, what value does creativity have?

I've always thought creativity is the final frontier and last sanctuary of human vs. AI, but I guess I'm wrong. At the end, it's not about what's the best, it's about a convenient product at a price people can afford.
