my honest feelings on AI are that humans are amazing and I don't really give a shit what a computer has to say
a human makes art? it's a reflection of their experience living on this earth, the same one I live on. it's an invitation to understand how other people think
a computer makes art? well, ok? I don't give a shit. you live in computer world. you're ones and zeroes. your art could be an interesting reflection of that experience, except it's actually just a slurry of what humans have made.
AI can splort out things that are cool or funny or interesting or even thought-provoking, sure. but I can't pretend I give much more of a shit than that because I know the artist and it has no beliefs or convictions or experiences. who gives a fuck
I feel cheated when I learn that a video I watched or a piece I read was plagiarized. the "author" didn't necessarily believe any of what they said so much as they just stole someone else's words.
I feel infinitely more cheated when I find out something I experienced was AI generated. cool, so not only did the "author" not believe what they said or what their "art" represents, nobody does.
I'm not even trying to make a moral argument against AI or whatever I'm just trying to express how I feel. I do not care what the computer has to say. I care a negative amount. do not show me what the computer has to say and pretend it can matter as much as what humans have to say
