You're assuming that the civilization that succeeds us will take shape in a way that we'd consider progress from the values we hold today, like respect the accomplishments of the people that came before us.
That's very much not a given and societies have gone back and forth in that.
- chefandy 3y agoConsidering what many humans say about the creations chucked into the ML blender, their lack of regard for the (often living) creators, and the high regard they hold for people asking the ML (nicely) to make derivative amalgams of those creations, I can't imagine those values will persist if these perspectives migrate out of the tech world.
- forgetfulness 3y agoIt wasn't even done for the sake of art, it was for the sake of ML and the careers of the researchers and engineers working on them. It's less understandable than people dismantling centuries-old monuments built by ancient kingdoms and republics that they could no longer relate to, like the Parthenon or the Pyramids, for masonry, this art and these artists formed the basis for the culture they were immersed in. The biggest shifts propelled by us millenials with the aid of technology have been... getting billions of people addicted to social media engagement, and making robots do creative work rather than humans. Hopefully, history will judge us harshly.
