I agree it is addictive, and always surprising, but at the same time, even though some creations are amazingly beautiful, I find them soul-less.
I remember how when I was a child and read books with no drawings in them, how I loved to imagine what the story looked like. the characters, the forests, etc.
when an animator gave these stories life, drawing them, it came from the soul of a human being and it felt so.
I do not get the same feeling with AI creations and I fear that this incredible technology, will take over human touch, by being easy, surprising, convenient.
Do you think it will ever overtake art? I don’t believe in it that way
It is not what I am worried about. it is the easy use and accessibility that will blur the line between human creation and the machine.
we can still tell it apart. will the next generations ?
Well I was talking with my brother on Sunday, about a boat song we used to sing. He went online to search it up: not to be found online. So he thought she made it up when we were kids. I told him that boatsmen still sing it. I think it’s to us to tell folklore, I go to the museum with my children. It it is something I think about as well
you think about it.
the question is, will our kids think about it too ?
we have been around long enough to know the before and the after.
for them it is the only reality.
I’m from a generation that started without computers. We know both worlds, before and after. Our youth was very different than that of our children. My youngest brother grew up with computers, the early gamers. Things change and I don’t think it is always for the worst. The knowledge my children get from the internet is immense. They timber and sew, something that isn’t learned anymore because it’s not a skill you need to work. That’s my view on it personally of course
