Yes, it can.
When people hear “AI boosts productivity,”
most imagine improved efficiency or shorter working hours.
That’s certainly true.
But in creative work, the essence of productivity is not processing speed.
It is the number of times you reach completion.
Productivity Is “How Many Times You Arrive”
To finish a single piece of work,
an idea is born, tested, broken, and rebuilt.
Traditionally, this trial-and-error process required enormous time and effort.
Many people gave up along the way,
and there was a physical limit to how many works one could actually complete.
AI has fundamentally changed this.
- Ideas can be generated instantly
- Rough versions can be created immediately
- The cost of failure is almost zero
As a result, the number of times you can reach completion increases dramatically.
100x or 1000x Is Not an Exaggeration
Someone who could only finish one song per year
can now create several per month—or even one per week—with AI.
This is not merely a 10x or 20x improvement.
It erases the gap between those who could finish and those who never could.
Zero becomes one.
One becomes ten.
Ten becomes one hundred.
For those who have experienced this step-by-step leap,
numbers like 100x or 1000x do not feel exaggerated at all.
Higher Productivity Does Not Dilute Value
There is a common objection:
“If output increases, doesn’t value decrease?”
This is half true—and half false.
It’s true that simply producing something is now easy for anyone.
But because of that, the difference between
what remains and what disappears has become clearer than ever.
As productivity rises,
an individual’s sense of aesthetics, philosophy, and personal quirks surface more strongly.
AI does not homogenize creative work.
It accelerates human differences.
Another Change Brought by 1000x Productivity
There is one more crucial shift:
the number of attempts you can afford explodes.
You can change genres.
Change languages.
Change forms of expression.
In the past, attempts that might “go to waste” were avoided due to time and cost constraints.
Now, things are different.
Even if you fail, you can try again immediately.
This drop in psychological barriers
is the true nature of 100x and 1000x productivity.
In the End, Productivity Is a Measure of Commitment
Even with AI,
those who create nothing will continue to create nothing.
But those who have something they want to make
will accelerate forward with AI.
In other words, it’s not AI that multiplies productivity by 100.
It’s the determination to keep creating—even with AI.
So, is it possible?
The answer is already clear.
Yes, it is.
And those who have truly experienced it no longer doubt a word of this.
