We are just heading for Lovely All TM.
I kid.
Art should require effort. And by that I mean effort on the part of the artist. Not environmental damage. I am SO tired of non tech friends SWOONING me with some song they made in 0.3 seconds. I tell them, sarcastically, that I am indeed very impressed with their endeavors.
I know many people will disagree with me here, but I would be heart broken if it turned out someone like Nick Cave was AI generated.
And of course this goes into a philosophical debate. What does it matter if it was generated by AI?
And that's where we are heading. But for me I feel effort is required, where we are going means close to 0 effort required. Someone here said that just raises the bar for good movies. I say that mostly means we will get 1 billion movies. Most are "free" to produce and displaces the 0.0001% human made/good stuff. I dunno. Whoever had the PR machine on point got the blockbuster. Not weird, since the studio tried 300 000 000 of them at the same time.
Who the fuck wants that?
I feel like that ship in Wall-E. Let's invest in slurpies.
Anyway; AI is here and all of that, we are all embracing it. Will be interesting to see how all this ends once the fallout lands.
Sorry for a comment that feels all over the place; on the tram :)
"if it's not worth [writing/playing/painting...], it's not worth [reading/listening/looking...]"
I had a friend over for my last birthday before going to a venue. He had a huge framed painting he had made. It made me cry.
A prompt delivered by Amazon drones would obviously not be the same lovely moment.
So yes, I agree.
