Once it's been trained on the data of every movie ever made, won't the AI be able to figure out what exactly makes a performance nuanced and captivating? We're at the very start of this AI journey and it's often indistinguishable from real life already.
Yeah I'm not sure why people think art is only creatable by humans.
Because we like to think we’re special.
Ding ding ding! The same reason we believe that our planet is more than an insignificant mote of dust in the vast dark void of chaos.
Because an AI is created by humans. If an AI can create art, that art is ultimately created by humans
Mark Twain was created by other humans… but his grand parents aren’t famous.
I see no reason the thousands of people who work on an AI will be any more famous than the thousands of non-acting artists who currently work on a movie.
Maybe directors (or the AI prompt writer) becomes more famous… but even that will self-automate pretty quickly
Mark twain was created by natural precesses such as evolution, by randomness and by education/environment. It is a different thing.
AI is tha peak product of the collaboration of many human beings across generations. Scientists, engineers, artists, common people, all have "worked" together to generate an amazing, extraordinary, artificial thing.
If such things can create art, that art is made by everyone, just like honey is the final product of the whole colony of bees.
We simply need to change our perspective on fame. No one deserves fame, we all deserve to be celebrated
So if you teach someone to paint all their art is created by you?
Don't think that stands up really.
If I teach a neural network to draw with only my picture, the art is mine and of all people who contributed to creating the AI technology, including theory, software, hardware (because each of them contribute to the final result as much as the training data - even more in reality)...
If I teach someone to draw, and I am the only input he's ever had in his life, art is his, but I contributed to it.
Computers are not people
People aren't anything special. We are essentially pattern recognising computers. Our hardware is just very different.
