@movq@www.uninformativ.de I mean are you surprised? 😮
@prologic@twtxt.net I hadn’t considered this particular scenario, no.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m more worried about Dustin Curtis’s take on Thoughts on Thinking piece 🤔 It’s a worrying time we’re facing, where all human creativity, critical thinking and having to “think” at all just goes out the window 🪟 wow 🤯
@prologic@twtxt.net That’s an interesting premise in that article:
The fun has been sucked out of the process of creation because nothing I make organically can compete with what AI already produces—or soon will.
This is like saying it’s pointless to make music yourself because some professional player/audio engineer does a better job. Really, there’s always someone or something that’s better than you at a particular job.
If we focus too much on “competition”, then yes, you can just stop doing anything. I don’t know how common this mindset is, especially among artists or creative people. 🤔 I would have assumed that many writers, for example, simply enjoy the process of writing. Am I being too naive once more? 🤣
@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t even think the premise of this makes much sense. If an artist is convinced they cannot compete, with the “AI” learning models, we already have today, they must have some self esteem issues, strange opinion on what the purpose of art is, or just be someone mindlessly redrawing already established things and not be all that good at it.
It might be connected to some typically non-artists assumption, that the more time and effort the artwork took to accomplish, the more artistic it is - this can be further twisted in these peoples minds, into the “more pointless detail = more artistic art” meme. AI often ads pointless and illogical details everywhere, “so it’s obviously better, than the human artist, who drew the original”.
Some people just enjoy having the picture they wanted or having the status of an artist to brag about and don’t actually enjoy the artistic process of discovery and small decisions, made while drawing, that shape the outcome into something, only you could have created.
