> If humans stop producing new content and rely solely on AI, online content across the world may run the risk of becoming repetitive and stagnant. Yeah, because the Netflix catalog, for example, is not repetitive and stagnant. These current advances will enable anybody with a unique idea to produce content. We are right before an immense explosion of human creativity.

If what you are saying is true, how will anyone afford it?

I think some of it comes from the smug disdain that generative art fans throw at traditional artists.

If anything, that smug disdain is a reflection of the perceived elitism of traditional artists. A small culture war that was smouldering long before the appearance of generative models.

The elitism of having a Twitter account and a Wacom tablet? I've found traditional artists are very happy to help people out, especially in the digital art world. They just won't draw your anime waifu OC for exposure.

1. There is nothing to stop someone putting this on >10%-AI generated material. 2. The same argument could be made for "Not with a Computer" and invalidate this website based on identical principles. 3. The future AI brings is a huge unknown, but as we've seen with every major technological advance so far, it's never been nearly as bad as the most fearful and skeptical thought it would be at the time this was unknown…

I think you could make the claim from #2 but then you will miss the point and the big picture here. I guess it’s just myopia. There is a difference between the scales of using a computer for some work versus whet is discussed here. As well, in #3, actually it is the “supporters” or fan boys/girls that are proclaiming AI shoes human intelligence is nothing abs reduces to “probalistic sparks” and gleefully rejoice in economic collapse or something, not simply the “skeptics”.

But still, content creators get badges/s I generally agree that it will become increasingly harder to distinguish non-AI generated content and authenticity will suffer a lot. Maybe the solution to this is get connected with other humans directly and provide authenticity as first hand experience.

From consumer’s perspective they don’t care where it came from. In commercial setting(read: 99%) it’s always get stuff cheaper and better. AIGC fits both, the only better options is run faster than the waves and hope it don’t take you(i.e. “learn to code”) This is the “disruption” we tech and VC has been talking XR/Crypto/5g/metaverse is about. Except it came with large body counts for those who are directly impacted…

If consumers don’t care then where something comes from them why companies waste ink on “ethically sourced” “sustainably farmed” “fair trade” or whatever? Isn’t that a foolish waste of dye?

I want a "Created by AI" badge for my social media content, because I want to show off my skills with creating AI content (and educate users about what they are consuming).

What skills are you using in creating AI content? Did you create the LLM?

An analog to the sudden belated question of the extent to which human language is novel (or not), is a precursor to a more existential revelation our culture is going to have, the extent to which the entire precept of the rational self-aware agent that we carry as our model of ourselves, is a confabulated falsehood maintained by our own minds. Most of what most of us do most of the time is habitual, instinctual, auto…

This is a serious question: was this written by ChatGPT?

"Made in America" vibes. It must be better because we made it... There's a sort of insecurity about this. And I get it, people are freaking out. I feel unsettled in many ways and I truly believe this technology is profound. Wait until it's realtime and embedded in everything. But I don't believe it's a cause for concern. I don't think we need to legislate transformers trained on public data as something illegal, for…

I think iou we missing the point of the “made in America” thing but it’s ok. It’s not surprising.

They don't have a default voice not a definite one. Output can be easily adjusted to sound like whatever

Not effectively in my experience. Even if I ask it for a discursive treatment in the style of William F. Buckley I always seem to get what reads like a transcript of Entertainment Tonight.

Shhh you can’t point out of the obvious false premises of the cult ….
