Coddled Creativity: Creativity in a World Without Friction

By Mathias Jansson

Coddled Creativity explores the impact of AI on art in a world where friction, struggle, and failure are increasingly removed from the creative process. From artists who built their skills through years of trial and error to a new generation raised on AI prompts and instant solutions, this book examines how the tools designed to help us create can also make creation too easy. When mistakes are erased and every idea optimized, where does imagination, risk-taking, and originality go? Coddled Creativity asks the hard questions about what it means to make art-and to be creative-in an era that rewards speed and convenience over challenge and growth. It is a provocative look at how we can embrace technology without sacrificing the friction that sparks true innovation.
