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 last part of the text of Nathan J. Robinson filed 03 November 2022 on Current Affairs.Org.
Less lethally, the AI art may cause a lot of problems, even if DALL-E can’t replace human creativity (and even if it never will). It’s going to get at least somewhat better, and as it gets better it’s going to threaten the jobs of artists, who are already precarious.
I had a ton of fun getting it to spit out hundreds of little Boschian people, but I also felt a sense of guilt as I assembled the piece, because even though I wasn’t planning to enter the piece in an art contest or claim it as a “Nathan Robinson painting,” there was some way in which just by creating it with so much “help,” I seemed to be committing a crime against art.
I certainly don’t like where this is going, because even though I am excited by the magical ability to create stunning new images with ease, I know that we live in an economy where people have to work to survive, and automation poses a threat to people’s livelihoods.
If everyone were guaranteed a decent standard of living, one could be less unsettled by the power of AI art, because the fact that a computer can do something more quickly than a human can is no reason for a human not to do it, if they are doing it for pleasure.
People didn’t stop playing chess when computers began to beat people at chess. If you enjoy painting pictures of the sea, what difference does it make that a computer can paint a “better” picture of the sea?
