#12Feels like humans cheering for Kasparov when he beat Deep Blue. That fleeting moment in time, a crest of a wave, before the change of times.
Can AI come up with new novel things? A nature photographer could , through luck and hard work, photograph a new species of animal while traveling through an unexplored area. Could AI do that?

Why did the AI cross the road?

Photography isn't real work from real creatives; painting is. All you're doing is pointing a box and pressing a button, the camera does all the work for you :)
I say this in slight jest as someone who does amateur / semi-pro photography. Yes, the barrier to entry to generative AI is lower than the barrier to entry for photography. Just like the barrier to entry for photography is (skill wise) lower than the barrier to entry for painting. That is completely unrelated to the high end / skill ceiling. You can use generative AI in creative ways. Just like you can use a box that instantly captures a scene with the press of a button in creative ways.

... yes? Have you actually played around with photo generation tools? You can absolutely generate novel images.

#16Disrespectful to the AI art medium.
I don't want to see art from someone who has spent a hundred thousand hours looking at the real world.

For you see, the second artist will be quite mad. The first artist is just a pretentious fake who has not destroyed their own mind.

Photography captures a real moment, place, or thing.
Generative AI may replace the pictures that hang on the walls of hotel rooms, but I don't see it coming for the photographs in peoples homes, or even art galleries. At least, not at any real scale.

Seems more like a professional basketball player dunking on a jr high after school leave to me.
Certainly - a jr high schooler who was talking smack.

Depends on what you mean by novel. When a photographer takes a photo of a new species, are they really creating a new thing? Or just capturing the novelty that nature created? And the form of the species itself is subject to physical and evolutionary constraints, so how novel is it really?
