Mmmm. I find it challenging to separate the two at this point, as the individuals, organizations and corporations at the helm of the generative AI markets will shape the fundamental systems redesign that will incentivize and shape the systemic implications of AI.
I think to fully evaluate the risks and opportunities with âunleashing an intelligent entity on humansâ we first have to evaluate from a wholistic systems theory and invent totally new systems and economic models for healthy human engagement in an era of AI.
I think it will be important to prioritize fully auditable AI and transparent algorithmic practices.
In the case of addressing all the data harvested artists, I think we will need to invent new IP and Copyright structures so that we can more effectively engineer new systems to incentivize humans to create, engage and collaborate.
We have an opportunity to unleash an AI Renaissance, or quickly entrap ourselves in a digital serfdom. I think it is important to evaluate how do we steer âsuper intelligent AIâ from systems engineering perspective to unleash a sovereign and creative Renaissance?
Interesting, yesterday I read about Adobe Firefly which apparently has been set up to only derive it's dataset from licensed work and expired copyright public domain content. I suppose that's a step towards addressing the data harvesting of artists issue you've mentioned.

Do you have any other thoughts about AI art? I've been thinking a lot about the AI pictures that are coming up so much now. I used it myself but I've now stopped completely for now. I found it surprising when a prompt of a few words, which frankly is of zero creative input from a human, can create, sometimes, quite satisfying and engaging results. From a personal point of view I get much more satisfaction from coming up with an image "with my own hands" whether digitally or with traditional tools, than I do if it's just a text prompt. I am thinking about how I might be able to integrate elements of some AI art into a piece though, maybe along the lines of some interesting typeface or collaging something into a piece. That starts to be more of a human/AI collaboration. Perhaps some repetitive tasks that come up can be done by AI to save time. Is a human text inputter an artist? Who do we credit when AI has made a thumping dance tune? Will we start to see a "personal AI" that is unique to ourself that has grown with us and is kind of unique?
This is a great video, thanks for sharing! In your post above, I think you raised some really fascinating questions to ponder about impact n role of AI in the creative arts.
I think one of poignant marks you bring up is about the collaboration of human and machine. This has a where I believe a beautiful synergy can be achieved unleashing inspiring new applications of machine learning across a variety of disciplines from healthcare to creative arts where AI augments and enhances the facets of human intelligence rather than replacing it outright. Figuring out the dance of synergy between human intelligence and machine intelligence these next few months and years will be fascinating to witness.
Yea, hopefully it'll be a good advancement for us humans. I've heard some other deeper type thoughts about AI and art.
"Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal" That is I think a Pablo Picasso quote and given his art's influence from African art it seems quite possible. I then like to think about how as a human we are kind of producing art and music based on what we have heard and seen and been influenced by. The criticism of AI that it is only based on previous art is maybe possible to apply to us too. We can ponder about whether art or music is somehow in our "DNA", not literally but in some way bound in our emotions from our parents/grandparents/great grandparents etc., but we are also definitely influenced by our lived experience. We aren't like a spider who weaves a web from instinct? đ
