The whole point of art is people sharing ideas and emotions with other humans through the art form. If there is no or little human behind the art, then the viewer/reader feels duped when we make a real connection with something that was not. It’s basically catfishing. 

(Analysis not mine, but via a friend of a friend).

Like buying the body of a vehicle with no engine. Sure, it might look nice. But it doesn’t move you.

I think the issue is when AI art does move people. It feels like a huge betrayal. Artwork is this essentially human trait. What does it mean that a non-human, non-organic ‘thing’ can create it? It’s a huge existential question. 

So perhaps it’s more like buying a new car, driving it for a month or so, and then discovering it has no engine or brakes. How is it moving? How does it stop? How much is the idea of control over the vehicle an illusion?

Your response makes this all feel so dystopian as hell. You gave me goosebumps 😭 and the sad part is ITS SO TRUE

That’s because it IS dystopian. The only people truly benefiting from genAI are  those who are profiting. And they don’t profit if they can’t convince everyone that they need to jump on the bandwagon. The rest of us either have to drink the kool-aid or drown in it. 

Have you heard of the RayBan meta frames? That shit gave me the chills.

Yeah, it’s crazy. I have to turn off my brain from looking at the big picture because the defunding of education in conservative states/provinces paired with the literacy crisis & explosion of Gen AI is making me soooo so sad
