wow! I didnt expect it to phrase the opening and pre-last sentence that much better - and it copied the major content word by word, which surprises me. I I have to admit by removing the final wordplay, it kind of missed the point of the last paragraph though :|

(similar result for the title, although I like how it tries to boil it down for readability)

ChatGPT seems very direct, which is amazing for writing :D

Ah dw about the argument part. I was just sharing my view of things, and how surprised I am by the magnitude of negativity regarding AIart. Maybe it'd turn into a nice discussion or create some positivity for someone out there :D

You mean just like computers will never be available to the public?

Jokes aside, most simple machine learning models suck. But you should know that these systems basicly "scale" with input size, right? Big data, long (re-)training cycles and you'll get a good guess for a great solution eventually. Which is exactly what many companies pursue rn.

Edit: spelling error

It might even become more interesting to actively investigate the residuals (what hasn't been depicted by humans yet). Or mess around with terrible AI that's so overfit it might produce quirky fun stuff :D

Just the right mix of provocation and input to deserve a reply instead of a shaking head! And mind you, I do like quotation marks.

I would like to answer your last questions with a question: why would I not choose an AI companion for certain interactions, like chores, given I don't rejoice in mundane daily interactions (and accept I don't leave space for special moments)? If I do not enjoy the hassle for bonding sexually, i can have my sexual fulfillment artificially while seeking social interaction for other reasons (i.e. platonic connection). Similar to this, I'd argue there's many forms of art which can be reduced along the lines of "a cool, colorful sticker for this wall" of some sort, likely a re-scrambled version of artwork that's already been made.

Still, I absolutely agree on the bias topic and over/underrepresentation. I did not consider this while writing up the thread! I do absolutely have to disagree on "AI should be focused on larger scale objectives" (why should a powerful tool be used for one thing alone?).

Just a thought: wouldn't 'underrepresented' communities actually benefit from the rise of AI art? Given their style will be more unique as it isn't easily mass-produced? In that sense, it would push artists to beyond great and average, in a way not observed before (or wielding AI properly for the best results), transforming the occupation as I pointed out already.

I get the point that art is more important in terms of philosophy.

However, how is AI helping in solving technical solutions any different? Finding this 'solution' could be phrased as "our creation/purpose", which makes the individial discovery "expressionless" and "ridding" us of purpose as humans.

While I agree that there's currently many concerns and negative responses to AI art, I see it more as proof for human fear of change; due to not wanting to adjust and fear of the unknown.

AI is - currently - not going to replace artists. It is going to change the entire sector, how and what people work. Many mundane tasks will become redundant and people focusing on that will lose their jobs (hence reducing these opportunities for creativity). However, AI cannot reinvent art (as it is now), always leaving this hole of "new" which has to be filled by artists, and there will be an unchanged demand for that - although I have to agree that it the overall demand will decrease (or shift to AI-Art-Engineers).

I just realized that my response is the photography discussion all over again :D

"snuffing out" as in the same way as television, photography and smartphone technology do? Yes.

Actually reducing it? No. The way we use it will change, not to what avail. AI is one more tool, at least for the time being.

And yes, I do believe that this will eventually result in a more developed society. (which I hope will lead to more happiness, unless everyone keeps worrying about what ifs instead of enjoying life)

Interesting. I've given this message quite some thought! :D

For one, I wonder: do you incline a lack of direction in general? As in "modern society struggles with an unfulfilled need of purpose/meaning"?

Second - I struggle to get the point of your example. Do you mean "embracing change fully" might as well be understood as "use all you know to its max extent and benefit, forget morale" (drones, deep fakes, necessary evil)? If so, that wasn't what I wanted to convey.

If not, I would enjoy clarification :D
