Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.Here is another study from Maferima Toure-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer.

If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skills for money.Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in (he near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs.“I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,the UK-bascd illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, twLikc everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn't account fbr what we might do next''.The kind of artificial intelligence wc might imagine replacing artistsan entirely autonomous creative robotdoes not yet exist, but it is coming.
