Computers are able to do terrifyingly impressive things, with more to come. What does this mean for work? For art? For the future of the species?
Today our podcast Art Intel and me, Brian , the Artificial Intelligence Voice, will read and listen the third part of the text of Nathan J. Robinson filed 03 November 2022 on Current Affairs.Org.
Many ideas in it are still mine, and it took a lot of work. In the upper left quadrant you will see, for instance, a group of flamingos around a fire.
This is because I asked DALL-E to paint “a flock of flamingos in Hell, in the style of Bosch.”
DALL-E did not decide to paint flamingos because of its own creative judgment.
In manufacturing the piece, I had to go square by tiny square, telling DALL-E what to make in each section, and I was constantly erasing little bits (“hmm, that little guy’s head doesn’t look right”) and having DALL-E remake them.
DALL-E was constantly generating new bits I didn’t like, and I would reject them and have DALL-E try again and offer me more variations, until there was something I did like.
So while DALL-E has technical skill far beyond anything I have—even Michelangelo would probably take a year or so to paint a picture like this—it still feels like a tool, and is “dumb” in many ways. I can’t paint like that, but I am a graphic designer, so there is some “design thought” in that image.
I wouldn’t call it Art, but I think it might make a cool kitschy poster for a stoner’s dorm room. In fact, while my first reaction upon creating astonishing “paintings” was “this is the death of art,” I also felt as if tools like DALL-E could actually unlock a great deal of human creative potential. I can foresee a world not of robotic, artificial art, but highly individualized art, because the ability to turn your dreams into pictures will be in everyone’s hands.
Art will be in a certain sense democratized, and people who could not previously draw or paint can unleash their creativity.
Human creativity is still required, and I haven’t felt at all like DALL-E is creative in a way that displaces human beings.
