I don't think we rlly need to worry in terms of AI eradicating the need for actual human artists. There have been many recent videos here on youtube about how AI art isn't actual art. And I personally think a lot of them make good points and arguments, such that we rlly don't need to be too apprehensive. Yk a song could be written by AI, but I wouldn't listen to it if I needed to confide in some solace. Because no matter how good the song is, if it doesn't have legitimate sincerity or intention, then it will always feel hollow. Personally I still find a lot of the new AI art produced to be too generic to warrant being referred to as creative. And I suggest perhaps looking into how AI actually works (if you haven't already) would help assuage any anxieties you might have towards it. Just wanted to say that since I used to be very paranoid about technology and especially AI, and I still remember how troubled and restless I got.. now I'd say I'm more optimistic that people will recognize the indispensability of deliberate art

@lisahoshowsky4251 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, AI art programs disturb me. They’re literally being fed artists work (a lot of which is under copyright still) to spit out “free” art that’s being praised and admired by the internet while people who spent actual time and talent are shunted even further down than they already were. Artists already had trouble being fairly compensated for their skill and now ai can just steal their art and use it so someone can generate “free art” when they don’t want to commission an actual artist. Don’t get me wrong, like they’re cool and I personally enjoy music videos where each line of lyrics has been used to generate an image, I find it fascinating, but AI portraits of people are flooding all my various interest groups and it’s sad to know artists are losing commissions over this, not that I expect the average person to comprehend that that’s what AI art means. They just see it as a cool tool and free art but don’t understand the connotations.

Hiya, classicist in the house: I would very kindly like to correct a little something: the title of The Argonauts seems to me to be built on a mistake. The paradox that you talk about (of the ship in the end not being the same ship anymore) is generally referred to as the Ship of Theseus (based on Plutarch's Life of Theseus): this is a different ship than the Argo! It's the ship on which Theseus sailed back to Athens from Crete. The French essayist Roland Barthes actually got this confused with the Argo (on which Theseus did sail but which is not the same ship), and set in motion a wrongful association, on which in my opinion Maggie Nelson's title is also based, based on what you said :)

I watched a video recently where someone had AI create a workout routine for them, and it was very similar to what that’d normally choose to do for themselves. And I’m finishing a series of short stories right now where one of the characters was revealed to be AI; so similar but even more advanced. As far as Tolstoy goes, I’m currently listening to War and Peace as an audio book. It is 61 hours. There are a million characters to keep track of. I’m almost halfway through. I’m not sure it meets the Jack Edwards standard of “make you cry and feel all the things”, but I am glad I’m listening to it. If nothing else, I’ll get to say I “read” it, which a lot of people never do. And I feel like I’ve learned a lot about Russian nobility in the Napoleonic times. Keep up the great work as always.😊

"the empathy exams" was also suggested along with the argonauts (if you reread the chat box). i guess there needs to be a sequel!

i highly recommend tolstoy's book, i've only read his short collections and anna karenina, but they're really good. i want to read war and peace, but it's so long so i'll need to wait until i have the time for it

Also Jack you just like me - I love the tragedy genre and if you haven’t already, I recommend you reading tragic theory - it’s super interesting. Terry Eagleton is my fave

Omg. I have not watched this video yet, but the idea is brilliant! Well-done!

Definitely great recommendations from the AI and you, Jack! I’ll definitely check them out! And I tried to play with the Chat, but it’s at full capacity! 🙈

Before reading War and Peace I would highly recommend reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoi first. Personally, it is my favourite work of him. To sum it up, this book contains everything you asked for in a book: beautiful and depressing.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the inspiration for Akira Kurosawa's film Ikiru, which was remade last year with the film Living.

Syd Bookworrom did this maybe 1-2 weeks ago and got some incredibly specific recommendations! I really recommended checking her out if you liked this one but want more sass from the AI 😁

When the list came up and the overstory was at the top I was sooooo excited I read it last year and it completely changed me. It was so upsetting I had to stop and sit with it every once and a while. It's a long book, which normally doesn't trouble me, but it took me weeks to get through because it just honestly hurt so much and made me rethink everything. I want to know your thoughts on it, even though I know it's not your type
