AI’s Instagram Problem
Aren&#x27;t we maybe jumping the gun here a little? Human creations are far better still than AI ones.<p>People seem to (very understandably) conflate &quot;impressive because of the technology&quot; with &quot;good,&quot; but either way thats not going to last forever, even for the most passionate AI-heads. We will take this stuff for granted pretty soon here, and then inevitability remember again what actually enjoying and connecting with a work of art or song or film is.<p>I think its probably impossible to actually appreciate an AI work on its own terms right now, simply because its too loaded with external significance. You can&#x27;t take it in without considering <i>what it means</i> to like it or not. In this, we seem collectively to be erring on the side of saying its positive or worthwhile if only because of the promise each AI work carries with itself.<p>This makes the fervor and proselytizing of some make sense to me at least. Most people have better taste than enthusiasm for AI art would seem to show.
