I hate it when I talk about AI "art" and how awful it is, and people respond with "Oh, but it will get so much better at it! It will be able to create amazing stuff, not just creepy images!"

I. Don't. Care.

I want stuff made by thinking, feeling, flawed humans. That's the whole point. I don't care how good AI is at "art". I don't care that "writing a good prompt is difficult". I really don't. The problem was never the quality to begin with.

@TarkabarkaHolgy This. Exactly this.

It isn’t a question of proficiency. It’s that humans grapple with the impossible. And machines - any machine - has no embodied experience to understand all that this implies.

There is no piece of human art, writing, music, sculpture, dance…. in which the creator doesn’t at least unconsciously grapple with their own mortality. Even in the simple act of making something that might survive their passing.

A thing that cannot die cannot create.

@Remittancegirl @TarkabarkaHolgy It is the habit for many to reach 'the people¨. To build large audiences, have the attention. For political, financial and cultural means. Gaining from it themselves most of the time. "I am Leftish ! " does not mean a thing.
AI seems made for them.

Then, the man on the streetmarket playing his banjo just for fun, not even collecting coins.. The people coming together to learn better knitting, sing, gym etc.
With their own signature. AI will never have that.
