Op-ed: As AI outputs flood the Internet, diverse human perspectives are our most valuable resource.

    Most artists and people who take an interest in the arts agree that this homogenisation was happening before AI and would be still be happening without it. No doubt this new technology is adding automation to the process of producing homogenous art but in my opinion the root cause of it is a deeper cultural problem. It seems to me that human existence has been completely penetrated by the values of business and commodification, which having been established are now in a phase of refinement and consolidation.

    My felt experience is that there’s an ineffable pressure to conform that is constantly increasing, in both the content of the art and it’s context/how it’s presented.

    I think that what we’re likely to see are parallel worlds of art. The first and biggest being the homogenous, public and commercial one which we’re seeing now but with more of it produced by machines, and the other a more intimate, private and personal one that we discover by tuning back into our real lives and recognising art that has been made by others who are doing the same. I’m quite excited about that actually. It’s an opportunity for a revolution while the rest of the world is looking away.

    There is no “AI”. There is no “age of AI”.

    This grifter slop is worse than anything generated by a machine.

      So like, I understand that you are angry with the terms, but by age of AI I think the article just means to quick-translate what we all understand to be a technology that is currently spamming the internet. You’re free to e-mail them (or I see they have their own forum/commentsection) about how this is not real AI and that it just hijacked the term for marketing purposes and they should write more responsibly worded articles, but I think the article overall serves as a good cry for help while using language that shouldn’t even scare off an AI-bro.

      This community is literally called Fuck_AI btw, I would assume we know it is the common vernacular and don’t have to call people grifters for using that shortcut. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

    Sadly corporations will only try to extract and exploit that resource for profit. If they could just disable parts of your brain and make you pay for the privilege they would do it in a heartbeat. So long as we don’t regulate capitalism then the capitalist overlords will do whatever makes them richer at the expense of everyone else. In their minds we deserve to suffer for not being “””as good as””” them.
