Zelda Williams, daughter of the late, lovable comic actor and fine human being Robin Williams, said this about the incessant stream of “creative” AI generated images of her father:
“You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.
“And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it ‘the future,’ AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.”
I am not convinced that, on balance, AI will bring out more of the best of us and not just amplify more of the worst. Play real music friends.
