What's it like to have such a lack of emotional connection to others and yourself that you genuinely can't distinguish between AI generated word salad and real artistry by real humans? As Nick Cave said in his letter, a big part of the value of art isn't in coming up with words that vaguely sound like they have meaning, but in sharing emotions with your fellow humans, allowing for a genuine connection in the process. If you get that same feeling of connection from your machine on your desktop maybe your standards are a bit low?
- sitkack 4y agoYou are assuming that everyone internalizes communication the same way. When I read poetry and listen to music, I project it into my own experiences. When I listen to Johnny Cash song about killing a man and having regret, the man in black didn't kill a man, but I think about the times in my life where I made a mistake that can't be undone and what it feels like. The source of the words might matter for you, but it is the projection of those words into my own psyche that has the affect on me. I can give you a machine that will print a Certificate of Authenticity for any experience you desire.
