... who cares?
The quality is objectively crap and the AI is not going to get much better. We've definitely hit the point of diminishing returns. What could possibly be next for generated content? It's not going to magically develop actual creativity emerging from mere statistical plagiarism. We're afraid of the literal average of everything?
Even as real human artists inevitably create cool new stuff, does it really matter that a bot can imitate the style later?
Also, if a "hustle bro" (dumbest word of the year?) can do it, why not everyone's dog too? This is just more pointless fearmongering. The covid years are over and this nerve doesn't respond anymore. They need to let it go already.
- Apocryphon 4y agoHow are you so sure that this is as good as the AI will get?
- sublinear 4y agoHow are you so sure it will get better? AI has never been creative. It's only imitated existing work. Where is the creativity supposed to come from?

- pixl97 4y agoI'm sure around 1920 or so you could have said "Computers have never ____" and you could put pretty much anything in that blank. Now the number of things that fit in that blank has shrunk significantly. If you do not believe the human mind is magic then there is very little that cannot go in that blank.
- tluyben2 4y agoYou don’t need to go back to the 1920s for that. I heard multiple experts in the 1980s say that if a computer can beat top Go players, surely they are intelligent like humans at that point. We keep moving the goalpost, but indeed that expectation for filling the blank goes up and yet it gets filled (and overshot by great stretches) a few years later.
