We have another Artificial Intelligence episode. We try to address some of the concerns artists have about AI like Midjourney and Chat GPT. We discuss the dark side but also try to talk about all the cool things that could potentially come from this weird explosion of machines that can seemingly think. Sub topics include:
- Why we will probably always want to know the HUMAN story behind art and how that gives humans an edge over algorithms.
- Whether or not it's cheating to use AI to support our artistic process.
- How artists might be able to use AI.
- The ethics of using AI that has been trained on the work of artists without paying them royalties.
- The importance of speaking openly about this topic and not letting fear rule the discourse.
- Possible regulations we could put on AI to help artists.
- Building the future society we want.
And more.
Disclaimer that Amie and I are not experts on this and this are are just a collection of our random thoughts. No one knows what the future and this is a crazy fast moving new technology. We expect to be wrong about almost everything here.
