(OC) AI 'art' and the future

[u/SylvieXX]

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

One fundamental issue with the algorithm showing and reinforcing things you already know and like is that it's limiting. How small would your world and tastes be if you never tried something new, something outside your comfort zone, something that you didn't already know you'd like?

We're all much more diverse and interesting people because we've taken "risks" and experienced new things. Not all of them work for us, but that at least shows you're trying and open to growth.

I've seen people, even on Reddit, gleefully saying how once AI gets good enough they'll be able to just tell an algorithm their ideal movie/video game/song or whatever and just have it generated for them, exactly like in this comic.

But that's exactly the problem! I don't want some algorithm to just spoon-feed me exactly what it thinks I want to see, I want to be challenged, stimulated, I want to see someone else's vision, have my perspective changed.

Did it ever occur to you that both things can simultaneously happen? You could even combine them and use the AI to challenge your perspective.

What’s stopping you from watching someone else’s challenging, stimulating vision that they created with AI?
