This is a funny sentiment because to me, the exact opposite has occurred. Now that everyone can create work of comparable technical ability, never has it been more clear that taste and other conceptual skills are lacking in those who haven’t spent hours upon hours engaged with and making art.
I’m sure many will decry this as snobbery, but I think this is also obvious in the reliance on various famous artists names in prompts. I expect a similar phenomenon will emerge with AI generated code where things that look superficially impressive are terrible in other dimensions (architecture, efficiency, security, etc)
- ChatGTP 4y agoI agree, but according to some people this is just statistics too. Not sure I agree with this but yeah. Don’t be surprised if you get a response like that :)
- bugglebeetle 4y agoDon’t get me wrong, what’s technically been accomplished with the creation of generative AI is amazing. It’s just that it doesn’t make your average person off the street suddenly think with the novelty or acumen of a Max Ernst or John Carmack. But I also doubt that said average person has those aspirations (Max Ernst or John Carmack wouldn’t be exceptional if they did) and also expect that those that do will get buried under the onslaught of pedestrian schlock.
