i keep thinking these kind of tools are very dangerous and can lead to a lost generation of artists, who won't develop their skills because they can't compete with the garbage output of "ai" algorithms.
- entrox 4y agoExactly my thoughts as well. We're now starting to automate our own culture away: stories, art, music... Why would you spend the years building skills to create something in a sea absolutely flooded by automated algorithms? As these AIs get better, it will be more and more difficult to distinguish the output from human minds. I keep wondering what the endgame here is. Once everything can be algorithmically created, what's the point of humanity anymore? Just consuming an endless flood of auto-generated, recommendation-optimized content?
- danielbln 4y agoThink outside the box. The human element just moves up in the abstraction stack. Don't have to spend time manually arranging words anymore, now you just direct settings, character motivations etc. Don't need to manually set pixels to certain colours, now you can quickly create complex images and combine them, remix them, create something bigger.
- yoyopa 4y agoit doesn't even have to be optimized. it just has to be interesting enough to captivate your interest so someone can show you ads.
- CamperBob2 4y agoYeah, just like calculators killed off all the mathematicians, I guess.
- yoyopa 4y agocalculators do not produce inferior work the way dall-e and the like do
- CamperBob2 4y agoTo stretch the math metaphor a bit further, the quality level itself isn't what's interesting. The first few derivativea of the quality level are what matter.
