Making music without actually knowing anything about it is the banal apotheosis application of Generative AI. - Music nerd in me Creating art without actually knowing anything about it is the banal apotheosis application of Diffusion AI. - Artist in me Using ChatGPT to write essays that are better than anyone could have ever written is the banal apotheosis application of LLMs - Teacher in me It is already here. Better use, appreciate, and try to understand how it works rather than complaining about it doing a better job. In this instance, for example, the model can be made to generate multiple outputs or even better, generate output based on precise user input.

I'm actually concerned it is doing a worse job, in important ethical ways, than a hand colourist. But I've explained elsewhere. Colourisation cannot be done accurately from a black and white image without context that is almost always lacking. Hand colouring is less dishonest.

I work at krea.ai. We are for sure making art extremely accessible, but we consider it enhancing creativity rather than replacing. I fully agree that being able to generate an aesthetically pleasing image with an AI that has been optimized to do exactly that is a banal application of creativity. I do think that AI has incredible potential to make (and become art). The best AI artists don't just throw art into midjourney, they experiment, create their own secret sauce. Training models has become an art form in and of itself: ai artists curate incredible datasets and devise recipes for training stunning models. Their workflows span multiple companies / tools / models. AI just means that the goalposts for creativity are shifting. Boring people will use AI to make boring art, artists will find completely unexpected ways to use the tools we build to create art forms we've never imagined before.
