Art is an act of human expression.
- rpdillon 2y agoHumans express themselves through tools.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoSure. And no one is arguing like "does a paintbrush make art" "does a camera make art." I'm not saying people can't use AI as a tool to make art I'm saying AI can't make art.
- rpdillon 2y agoI'm not particularly interested in gatekeeping art, but that makes perfect sense to me, so I think we fundamentally agree.
- drhodes 2y agoWhat about the art of elephants? https://elephantartgallery.com/ https://elephantartgallery.com/
- becquerel 2y agoHumans are not metaphysically special entities, any more than the Earth is a special planet.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoWe're the type specimen for a category that has no other known members. Possibly at some point we'll need to extend the category of "person" beyond "human" but for now using them interchangeably seems fine.
- OJFord 2y agoWell if you make that your definition then of course it isn't, it's pointless talking or writing articles about, so I still think it's a silly fearful protest. I just checked Wiktionary, which indeed says it's the 'concious arrangement [of whatever medium]', so it just becomes the same question as whether AI can be conscious, which I think is just pointless semantics, it hinges entirely on how you define it, there's no deeper meaning or interest for that debate to reveal.
