Some nerd on here called it a human "stranglehold" on creativity and art and it's one of the funniest most brain-dead things I have read about AI. It's like so many of these programmers out here can only see programs and tech, and have completely lost touch with their humanity. Another even went so far as to say that, given enough billions of dollars, AI will be churning out art as good as anything fine arts. It's an unbelievably funny take

> lost touch with their humanity Humanity. Hm. Maybe. But is it possible that some who seek to limit what "humanity" means are also gatekeeping a safe place for themselves while other humans want to move forward and explore? Humans, uniquely, are explorers and triers of crazy new ideas. Is that not an essential part of humanity and art? IMO, your "nerd" and "brain-dead" insults are a bit immature. I'm not praising any current AI-generated art. It's so early. Let's see where this goes. If it all falls flat in a few years then the experiment was still essentially a human thing that had to be done IMO.

  If you (royal you) want to pass off AI prompting as equal to real human expressions of pain, love, anger, et al. you are free to do so. Nobody is stopping you! Edit: Actually, I would even go so far as to say that the prompt itself, that you a person wrote, to generate whatever, is the real artistic expression. Don't even AI require output!

The kind of word you’d expect to come out of the mouth of an A16Z VC shilling their latest hot AI startup. “Today nearly all creative output comes from creative humans and those humans capture an appallingly high 25% of the economic value. With CreAItive the human stranglehold on creativity has been escaped, 100% of CreAItive’s output is owned by investors.”
