I have the same feeling about this as I have about text written by A.I.: why would I want to read something no one could be bothered to write? Art isn’t interesting because it’s technically adequate. It’s impressive because a human (or humans) made it and it meant something to them.
I’m all for A.I. as a tool for creative people and doing rote tasks but I don’t get the point of A.I. generated “art.”
People go to casinos and play slots for a hit of brain chemicals. They’re not there for art. Nor are whales in most mobile games.
I’ll bet some exec thinks an AI-enhanced Skinner box would interesting to see.
Fuck this hits hard.
I never understood slots, nor gambling in general.
So I never saw how fucking HUGE it is. Oh my god people sink THOUSANDS of dollars of their hard earned money every month on the stupidest slots imaginable. The more stupid the slot is, the more popular it gets.
Online, offline, doesn't matter. People are at it EVERY SECOND of the time. It does not stop. Ever.
I worked in a bar and I can't remember exactly but the money taken on a busy Saturday the pokies were 5x the money taken on the tills for drinks. Obviously drinks cost money also so that's not profit. But I was amazed the country I come from people don't really gamble like that.
Think of it less as "art" and more as a "tech demo". While I wouldn't assign any emotional value to any piece of AI-generated material, I'm still love looking at it because I'm in awe of the technical abilities of the tools at hand.
People are different. I just like to look at cool pictures. I couldn't care less about the person that made it. I expect anyone to do the same with anything I create.
Yep, I agree 100%. I feel a very strong connection to the author of a book when I'm reading it. When some incredible fist pumping revelation happens in a book I get an intense sense of "you magnificent bastard" about the Author and I think I'd feel an emptiness experiencing such excitement from an AI.
It’s a game not art. What’s most important import is player agency and mechanics.
Shit people have been clamouring for interactive stories where you can explore things on the fly for ages. This is a step in that direction, one day we could have game/movies where you get to explore a world without following someone else’s pre-scripted reality.
I’ll gladly take that over some bougie notion of what art is.
I agree. And AI is a tool, like a brush or a modeling software. It'll accelerate artistic processes, but won't completely replace people.
Innovation happens at the intersection of people and technology. Each is more capable with the other than on its own.
