Art, in other words, is an act of communication – and there you have the problem with AI art. As a writer, when I write a novel, I make tens – if not hundreds – of thousands of tiny decisions that are in service to this business of causing my big, irreducible, numinous feeling to materialize in your mind. Most of those decisions aren’t even conscious, but they are definitely decisions, and I don’t make them solely on the basis of probabilistic autocomplete. One of my novels may be good and it may be bad, but one thing is definitely is is rich in communicative intent. Every one of those microdecisions is an expression of artistic intent.
ChatGTP’s latest fuck up while demonstrating searchGTP’s capabilities made the limit, they are having trouble to surpass, pretty clear.
It almost correctly summarized an event. But instead of the event dates, it showed the dates for the sign up for the next event. It did this, because they were on the same webpage.
In an autocomplete like way, it took the next best date-range appearing on that webpage. Regardless of context.
People do like to think AI reads and understands something, before returning its output, that’s not the case, yet.
AI art does the same.
A human wouldn’t need any input of existing art, in order to start creating art.
