"better calculators will destroy humanity" seems like a ridiculous statement
but that's what new AI tools that can create good art/music/writing does. They boil down and automate the middle process of calculation.
what was previously "creative" is revealed as calculation from the God/Universe pov and as the range of calculable things grows, the island of im-a-real-human-bc-creativity gets smaller and smaller
defined this way... creativity ends up including some interesting domains like capital allocation and hedge fund management.
these allow for "expressions of freedom" unconstrained by calculation
- __loam 3y agoWhat a bleak way to think about creative work. AI is just brute forcing it by looking at millions of training examples. Talking about it like it knows some fundamental truth about creativity misunderstands what it does. At best it's an approximation and at worst it removes what was special from the inputs. > creativity ends up including some interesting domains like capital allocation and hedge fund management. I hate this website sometimes.
- notShabu 3y agoYou're projecting a bit I think... the comment is making a case for the dehumanizing aspect of AI when it blurs the line between calculation and creativity
