this one is a lot more personal than my usual stuff, but I've felt a need to express this for a long time

Generative AI is a Parasitic Cancer

@acegikmo great video, thanks ❤️ This answer to "do you think AI will ever be able to write a good song?" question by Nick Cave -- way back from 2019! -- I often think about. https://www.theredhandfiles.com/considering-human-imagination-the-last-piece-of-wilderness-do-you-think-ai-will-ever-be-able-to-write-a-good-song/

There's also his later (2023) answer about ChatGPT writing lyrics: https://www.theredhandfiles.com/chatgpt-making-things-faster-and-easier/

@aras @acegikmo "An AI can play good go, but not great as it lacks inspiration and creativity."

Historically, predictions like that did not age well...

@dpwiz @aras @acegikmo the biggest thing here is that AI doesn't even have to be good for it to expand widely, crapitalism will gladly do the rest extremely efficiently

@profan @aras @acegikmo Yes, but the AI is irrelevant here. We already have planetary scale slop distribution and production and the internet is already FUBAR.

@dpwiz @aras @acegikmo

Still holds up though.

If it was another human who unseated Lee Sedol from the top spot, how likely is it that person could be consistently beaten by an amateur exploiting a simplistic "double-sandwiching" strategy?

@aras I also hadn't read the second article you linked til now - 100% agree, nice to see someone hit on the same point

@aras @acegikmo somehow this makes me think of the line "all that remained where fields of dreamless solitude. there's no prize for perfection, only an end to pursuit"

If you truly had AI that could make music, movies and games better than humans .. and could churn new stuff out by the second .. it would end up feeling hollow and meaningless 😬

@aras @acegikmo I'm sympathetic to Cave's position that without "pneuma" you are missing a specific piece of what makes the creative effort "awe inspiring”. For instance I saw this piece in person the other day and while it is visually arresting the depth of my appreciation for it changed significantly when I saw its mechanism of production, small glazed tiles of ceramic artfully arranged. https://whitney.org/collection/works/63687
