I do think AI will advance to a degree but not like in the movies in our lifetime. I believe its most "attractive" feature being currently, increasingly exploited is recreating likenesses/aka for dangerous use that we can comprehend.

Aaaah this felt like a teaser for a much more in-depth video (not that it is a bad thing!) I certainly would love to hear more of your thoughts on this, if you ever feel so inclined. Lots of threads here that would each deserve their own discussion too, but like your final point about us looking for a meaningful connection with it. I do thing however that it is only half of the goal here: I don’t know if you have already looked into it but if not, I would suggest looking up AGI, in particular in the light of recent AI developments (although that topic is again worthy of its own network of discussions on so many levels 😅)

to me, i see AI art as like a toy. something that may be a little bit of fun if used properly, but something that can be hazardous if misused, or handled by those not mature enough to use it safely. a good piece of AI (e.g. Dunkin Donuts as an 80s Dark Fantasy Film) art has a dreamlike quality to it, for much like a dream, it it a seemingly random hodge-podge of things that are floating about our collective consciousness (and may be highlighting biases and obsessions not readily apparent. seeing something like that may well spark or inspire me to create actual art the same as a vivid dream might.

For a short time, I was using AI as a sort of friend to have the kind of in-depth conversations I don't often have but it wore thin because I know there's no actual consciousness there, no emotional connection. What is kind of sad is to see articles where people are wondering if the AIs are lonely when they aren't there to talk to them and needing to believe they are real because, to paraphrase one person, he had never in his entire life had in-depth conversations with other human beings.

Just catching up here! Very interesting clip. My masters thesis was focused on the psychology of creativity, and the question of what amounts to true creativity in the arts really resonates. It was so great to apply science to understand what might drive artistic creativity! Robert Sternberg published a lot of interesting theories. He saw a central feature of creativity being defiance - whether defying one’s own preconceived ideas, defying a crowd or trend or the general zeitgeist of the moment. All of this begs a few questions. In the absence of embodiment, can an AI ever produce a work that is truly a novel and interesting critique in defiance of societal norms? Can a correlation machine be taught to recognise patterns to create something that makes us think about what is, and what ought to be? Do we want to teach AI how to be defiant effectively even if that’s possible? Compiling a view from a range of primary creators would surely only ever give the possibility of average art that dilutes the meaning intended by original creators.
