    You obviously don’t realize that it didn’t. That’s prompts generated by AI put into another AI.

    And you mean to tell me they decided to do it themselves? No, we both know that’s not what happened. That setup was arranged by people. You come with accusations of cluelessness and luddism only to say the exact same thing with different words.

    You’d rather burst into wild speculation while acting superior rather than acknowledging matters as they are.

    CEOs are target for AI replacement just like everybody else.

    Who do you think are making the calls to replace people? Do you seriously believe that executives, who hold the highest power, will decide to replace themselves? They might as well use AIs just fine and reap all the benefits while doing none of the effort. Like many CEOs already do with their human subordinates.

    As impressive as AIs might be and become, while you get lost on sci-fi fantasies you are losing sight of who is going to decide what they will be used for and how that will affect regular people.

    Hell, we are already have a glimpse of how that’s going to play out. Most of the internet is molded by algorithms that, however inscrutable they may be, are directed to serve the interests of wealthy business owners. Some decades ago people dreamed of systems that would recommend things for you before you even knew that you wanted it, but some didn’t expect that it would be used to manipulate and advertise to us.

    This is why keeping human interest in mind is of the utmost important.

    Values change. Images used to be difficult and time consuming to create, thus they had value. They are trivial to create now, so it becomes worthless. That’s progress.

    You think oil paintings lost all worth when photography and printing and digital painting came about? That art isn’t worth it if it’s not expressed through the biggest and newest means?

    That is what you think progress is? Human expression and passion being treated like trash because it’s not as optimal? What a dreary mindset.

    If not to enable people to dedicate themselves to what they love, what is even the worth of technological advancement?

    Don’t get mistaken. I love technology, I just can’t get excited about people being crushed by technology that is getting harnessed in the most cynical, greedy way. But you? You just seem to be eagerly praying for the day you will be turned into a paperclip, for “value”.

        Tired of your disingenuous responses. By your definition a die is intelligent because “you didn’t tell it what number to roll”. Stop playing dumb about that AI. I know you understood it.

        The shareholder

        Humans, again.

        Trying to make big claims based on your own indifference towards art and artists only convinces me you are the last person I’d want an opinion about it. There’s a lot of discussion to be made about what makes art “better”. It’s not just making it bigger and longer.

        The whole idea of a static image is starting to feel bizarre once you played around with AI for a while.

        This just sounds weirdly cultish.
