Kate Middleton, Missed Connections, Life's Pleasures, Favorite Artists | Constellation, Episode 63

Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. Colin returns to the lineup this week to talk about the current kerfuffle across the pond. What is going on with Catherine, Princess of Wales and is this whole royal fiasco a total scandal or a complete nontroversy? Micah Moriarty explores Craigslist 'Missed Connections' and puts a question to this panel of smooth-talking casanovas; Have we ever locked eyes with a stranger across a crowded subway car or supermarket aisle but lacked the courage to pursue romance? David Jaffe would like us to revel in Life's Little Pleasures. What are the rituals and routines in our lives that we look forward to and delight in the most? Finally, Dagan would like us to sing the praises of our favorite living visual artists. See, we can express admiration for people without ending it in RIP. Who knows, maybe they'll even hear us!

I love Jaffe so much, but his opinions on AI is literally the dumbest and most uneducated bullshit I’ve ever heard on the topic. He’s making broad strokes assumptions that are just completely not true. He needs to understand he’s not a creative any longer, and that’s ok. Using these tools to eliminate the work and creative processes makes you a person with good ideas and no ability to execute them. AI should be a tool, not a replacement for your lack of imagination and ability.

Might be one of my favourite episodes, Jaffe and Micah are probably my two favourite guests for Constellation. Hilarious and massively entertaining :)

2024-03-25 23:21:52 I think Jaffe fails to understand the difference between "process" and "calculation". In terms of visual art everything that AIs like Mid-journey, Open AI, and so on are complex mathematics of 2D geometry without any understanding of perspective; it's 1:1, input:output. These software may have collated a huge database of different figures, scenes, colors, and shading, but it only produces a few subjects and scenarios based on the exact prompts people put into it. If Jaffe were to ask an AI to create a work on a general description there's no real thought or visualization the software does to create the scene. It pulls from a soft set of parameters that it converted from other people's works. That's why it can never be truly artistic, as art itself is a result of general enlightenment, and historically some of the greatest pieces of classic art came from that era. That movement sparked many inspirations in academic and soulful expressions. That's proof positive in and of itself that Jaffe's argument falls flat on it's face.
