    People want pieces of art made by actual humans. Not garbage from the confident statistics black box.

      Humans are confident statistical black boxes. Art doesnt have to be made by a human to be aspiring.

          So, if a machine makes the ‘art’, its not art? So photographs are not art. The hubble telescope,or any space probe for that matter, doesnt produce art.

          Art is something that provoke emotions and expression in its observers and not produced naturally. Machines are built by people and require non-random inputs to produce something thefore anything those machines produce is art.

            Photography is absolutely art. Humans put a lot of thought and intent into what and how they photograph and how they process and exhibit the photos.

            I’d say that some stuff like JWST images definitely count as art, and some such imagery is far more technical and research focused than purely emotional. Maybe some visually boring but scientifically significant images aren’t artistic to laypeople. Nuance here is totally fine.

            I vehemently disagree that all machine output is art.

          What do you think grammarly is dude? Glorified spell and auto check, which people already utilize everyday. But of course new tools are looked down upon, the hypocrisy of people is amazing to see. It comes in cycles, people hated spell check, got used to it and now it’s prominent in every life, autocorrect, same thing is happening.

          And now the same is happening again. If they want to claim no ai, no spellcheck, no auto correct, and no grammarly for emails. Everyone already uses “AI” everyday. But theirs is acceptable… okay…

            Right but to detect close-enough spellings and word orders, using a curated index or catalogue of accepted examples, is one thing.

            To train layers of algorithms in layers of machines on massive datasets to come up with close enoughs would be that but many times over the costs.

            You would be a moron to use llms for spellchecking.

            To clarify to you, not all programs are equal. Its not all different methods to do the same thing at the same cost.

                Ok but why do you think it’s okay to use a wrecking ball for a task that requires a chisel? You’re creating low quality high cost work just because it’s fast and easy.
