Silo thinking stifles innovation and creativity, particularly with the rise of AI. Actual progress demands cross-disciplinary collaboration, embracing diverse perspectives and challenging our limitations. This path to transdisciplinary work fuels innovation and creativity, which are vital for industries like themed entertainment. Exposing oneself to new viewpoints is key to growth and a more inspiring future.

The rise of AI amplifies Imitation Collapse, where repeated generation from unoriginal data leads to distorted copies.
