This is analogous to “I saw Abe Lincoln at the hall of presidents at Disney.” and insisting it was really Abe Lincoln.

It is infantilizing to suggest this is originality or creativity just as much as it is to suggest David copperfield is a scientist.

It is an illusion. A subterfuge being performed by the puppeteer. It works due to the theft of human’s work.

Ask yourself, "What are this creative engine's sensory inputs to experience life?"

"What can this creative engine tell me about the experience of life from its own direct inputs?"

"How does it blend/shape or re-interpret raw input direct sensory data with the, admittedly, astounding body of knowledge it has about creative work?"

"What form of change or growth has this engine experienced that teaches us about ourselves?"

If you take those questions seriously you will come to the same conclusion. It is a Roomba smearing the valuable creative work of millions like dog shit across the living room floor, not a consciousness experiencing the agony and ecstacy of life.

If you think I am wrong ask an AI. It won't come up with an original answer, but it can certainly tell you whether the collective body of slightly-outdated human knowledge thinks I am correct.

That is not true at all. As I previously stated: reference, stealing well, blending styles in new ways that obey or break the rules of your art form… what appears random to outsiders is a story that follows as naturally as 2 after 1 if you understand the context.

Until an AI can have desires or experience life it cannot tell a story.

Even if it could it is questionable if such alien experience qualifies as story.

It can retell stories. It can swirl around extant media like a child playing with its dinner. It cannot blend in its own lived and new perspectives which is what gives new art value.

Creativity unbound by reference is not even dada (which was reactionary) it is noise

IKEA provides mounting brackets and discloses safety risks but a child may still pull it from the wall and be crushed under its weight.

Only barbarians would attempt a farcical judgement of law or punish the bookcase.

Thats what it comes down to.

I feel it would be effective and prudent to protest the current use of AI and to effectively unionize and ostracize AI use until many of these demands are met. The companies that own the models and the infrastructure will never be more vulnerable. They have fired a salvo. Fire Back.

This is Discord for many folks. You have voice/video channels alongside your text chats. Anyone can hop on into any themed voice/video channel at any time with the added bonus of screen-sharing game content.

If they had 5x margins and a scalable business plan they wouldnt be on wordpress

Add to that predictable flat pricing. If most Wordpress sites became famous overnight I guarantee 90% of users would rather the site go down than figure out what to do with 15 minutes of fame and a 50k hosting bill

Where’s my atomic bomb sold at Walmart?

The key point here is hypocrisy. The very evident double standard.

A person holding a camera and following you around is an emergency or at the very least a suspicious act worthy of investigation and possible arrest.

A person attaching hundreds of thousands of cameras to poles calling the police to report this act is what is noteworthy.

Its not clickbait in the normal sense of overselling a series of un-noteworthy events IMHO.

Rick and Morty. Procgen surfaces but a human story under every furniture-aliens-sit-on-humans multiverse.

Or alternatively Scavengers Reign

Personally I want spelljammer. Baldurs Gate meets Sea of Thieves in space with 80s killer clowns

There is so much drama that can happen there and the scale is the least of it.

Sure, killing robots would stimulate the economy but I’d like to see robot victims reduce the surplus population!

They’ll never match real children when it comes to dying horribly.

An even better analogy is if my dog attacks someone I am still liable. We have a clear standard: If your property commits a crime you are responsible even if your property thinks and acts independently.
