The Uncomfortable is a collection of deliberately inconvenient everyday objects by Athens-based architect Katerina Kamprani.
Well yes, that is why AI cannot “take” art away from us. It’s also why AI is no threat to art in general.
Or so I think. People have many opinions about this.
As a professional creative, I think the fear is losing the somewhat rote and “boring” creative jobs that actually pay the bills. It’s very rare to make a living from truly artistic work alone.
I don’t think it does as good of a job as I can, but some of the people paying for it may not value that level of difference.
I wish your opinion was shared more.
I do music production. I’ve seen what AI can do, and for making a simple master of one of my demos AI is great. But everyone who has been there knows that the fun of making music comes from uniqueness. AI can’t do that, it can only riff on things known in its dataset.
I’m not worried at all, because this means the boring commercial music becomes less impressive, and unique and elaborate music becomes even more valuable. I’m cool with that; nothing of value is lost.
I get why people are freaked out, but most of the tangible issues come from greedy managers with a pinch of dunning-kruger, trying to replace workers. And that’s got almost nothing to do with AI and everything to do with assholes. There will be consequences, but people have to stick out this short-term chaos. And that’s the only thing I have empathy for in this.
Well that and unlicensed training because governments can’t get their shit together to enforce ethical guidelines for AI training & data collection practices.
I think AI is also a great tool to get people into hobbies they will want to do themselves.
A lot of things - including music production - can seem daunting for a beginner, and for all the resources available, none can replace a teacher who sits next to you and guides you through the basics.
And fortunately I’m seeing more and more people using AI not in place of a professional but to become one, utilising the LLM to create personalised teacher agents. And LLMs are arguably much better at “teach me to do this” rather than “go and do this”.
That’s an awesome container for had coated photography emulsion! You can dunk your 3" bush in there no problem.
This isn’t a shit post lol, this is a great post.
If a shit post is great, isn’t it a shitty shit post then? 🤔
:O holy shit it’s a shit² post my mind is blown to shit. shit.
And we leave shitty comments on top of it. Which is great. I guess.
