AI does best in places where there is plenty of data for training and where messing up when used is only a mild problem (and where the problem is quick and low cost to identify). Art fits both of these categories. Healthcare data does not. What data does exist is much more private and extracting data from research papers is much harder than extracting data from images. When something goes wrong, the impact is much more negative if it is being used in any serious capacity. This is also why AI is just beginning to crack into short video and does nothing for long form videos yet, and even less on games, despite these falling in arts and crafts.

I totally understand. And so many tech bros misunderstand. Its not a problem with the tools and its not the money. Artists have extensive experience going hungry. So have I. I doubt many tech bros and technocrats know what starving feels like. Real hunger. But I digress. Its how the tech is being wielded. Its not just: can the robot imitate a nice picture. Its: artists are deprecated. And it mistakes artifice and artifact for art as a practice, and so conveniently cannot process any information about the subject beyond that final conclusion. None of this is hidden or arcane stuff, but effort has to be made to learn new perspectives… kind of like how the world has readily adopted new technology. What should be a reciprocal exchange is rapidly turning one sided and tyrannical. Woe be the future where any such single-minded ignorance takes absolute control (as is the current missive emerging out of SV at present) See Yarvin’s missive as adopted by so many VC’s in the current political plays. The way the tech is being wielded is all about power. Forced power over others. https://graymirror.substack.com/p/the-butterfly-revolution https://graymirror.substack.com/p/the-butterfly-revolution
