Will AI Replace the Artist?
Some may worry about whether powerful new neural-network models for generating text and images will replace workers and artists. But this can be true only if beauty and creativity are measurable by one-dimensional metrics, if art and human endeavors are static forms whose rules and objectives do not change, if we reject the possibility of meaning a...

Nameless Feeling
This is one of the many reasons why I find the current conversation about so-called generative AI so immensely frustrating: there’s all this hype about making everything easier and faster, about how we can eliminate all the work involved in the making of words and images. But no one arguing for this seems to have asked what’s left when the work is ... See more

Some key issues:
- Most people mistakenly conflate craft with art.
- Most don't know the last hundred years of art history, or intentionally reject it outright.
- Most people fear change, and adapting your model of th... See more

Creators are thinking about AI the wrong way.
Most creators are attracted to AI because they can use it to emulate the work of creators who have more resources.
Finally – an equalizer!
When that becomes true, when you CAN emulate the work of bigger creators, those creators will just adapt.
They will innovate and create content that once again c... See more
The problem for AI is that creative work is not predictable. It is not about statistical likelihood or simply mashing up the familiar—it is about leaps in logic and counterintuitive juxtapositions. It is about the unique experience of the individual, and seeking to do what has never been done before. It is about the least predictable next word or p
