⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
When someone asks me a very technical question, I provide a vague and ambiguous response. I learned this habit in grad school. No one unless they are a knowledge domain expert in the field cares about the specifics. Often people ask me about AI. I say that it’s worrying for many reasons but mainly that AI demands so much energy. This is enough for them to pick up and carry the conversation. I could lecture them on many aspects of AI. But you’d have to pay for this torture. 😁

No, I mean the American MFA and writing craft professionally as an art. Story telling is separate from a specific art, so I believe we are in two different domains. It’s difficult to talk about general art when I am specifically talking about art as a modern phenomena.

The MFA I believe from my experience generates a lot of mimetic art and that much of the “industry” is retelling stories. In art history, I don’t think this is as controversial.

I don’t also think you can say with definition that robots have no consciousness? Like when was this debate settled? From my understanding the academic conversation on consciousness is far more nuanced than robot bad.

But I agree that AI is disruptive, probably illegal and immoral. In a post-modern society however, who didn’t see advanced AI coming?

The Platonic Ion makes similar cynical claims. The idea that art is mimetic is compelling enough without gen AI.

Effectively I believe we are. During my MFA I realized we were simply copying as a form of craft. It’s all we do in arts. Any great work feels like just one continuous story retold again and again.
