I'm not sure I completely agree. In some ways, developing technical skills can drill creativity out of you and condition you to think in ways that are really quite rigid and formulaic.

Science is never going to supplant art. They serve two very different functions in society. What I hope is that performance art and experiences that can't be easily replicated by AI become more mainstream. Things like ARGs and multimed

They don't sound similar because the former has been fully integrated into culture while the latter is still a strange, alien phenomenon.

I am tired of people saying, "I am tired of AI."

>But what I had never noticed until now is that knowing that a human being was behind the written words (however flawed they can be, and hopefully are) is crucial for me. Everyone is going to have to get over that very soon, or they&#x27

There certainly has been some goal post moving over the past few months. A lot of the people in here have some kind of psychological block when it comes to technology that may potentially replace them one day.

This is just moral pedantry. The law doesn't really mean anything if its not enforceable. Students pirate books all the time and face no legal consequences. Meanwhile, the good faith actors are punished with completely unreasonable bo

Of course the laws are stupid. I dont care what IA said to defend themselves. They could have ineffective counsel. The entire concept of copyright in this historical moment is antithetical to a productive society. It is rent seeking, parasi

I mean, working memory is an aspect of intelligence.

Stupid laws that hurt society shouldn't be defended, and those that defend such laws simply because "it's the law" are not worthy of being taken seriously.

A lot of those Nazis went on to become part of the government of West Germany. And now Germany's in NATO. Now, their far right wing party is on the rise. The Nazis lost WWII, but fascism won.

To me, this is like asking if a hotdog is technically a sandwich. Who cares? It's semantics. This has the same vibe as, "Well, technically, Linux is just a kernel, not an operating system." No one cares, nerds. There's n

You are speaking for your employees when you say, "It makes them feel useful and a productive member of society." I wonder what they say when you're not in the room.

You are veering into territory that is interesting, but outside the scope of the initial topic. All I'm saying is you don't need a machine to be "sentient" or "self aware" to generate novel outputs. Whether or

It's not a threat. It's a descriptive claim about what the world is going to be like once this technology matures. In due time, most art will be the result of humans and AI. Unless content has some kind of label stating that AI wa

No, he's a midwit because his argument implies that he has solved that problem, when in reality, he's just talking around the problem instead of confronting it.

On the contrary, you absolutely want midwits in your training data set.

People will inevitably continue to train models as they see fit. Nothing can stop that now. Creativity is a set of algorithms that can be mimicked, learned, and reproduced by a machine. Holding onto a deep-seated preference for humanism is

Bing's implementation is worthless dogshit. Using Bing's market share as a measure to gauge the general demand for AI does not provide an accurate representation.

The answer has always been fairly simple. Allow users the choice to opt in if they'd like to. Transparency is key.
