  • I have a different take.

    AI today is basically a mechanical school. AI students are trained to give a specific answer. This is at the heart of how all machine learning works, including generative AI. Even image generators do this.

    “Here’s a million examples of what the pixelated representation of a hand looks like; now go and make a derivative copy.”

    This is fine for objective facts, like physics and history. It is useless for art.

    Merely drawing a hand is not art, it’s an objective truth (do typical humans have 5 or 6 fingers?). But art school is not about objective truths. Art school teaches creativity. Specifically challenging ideas and expression.

    AIs can’t fundamentally challenge ideas and express themselves because they lack personal experience, personality and individuality.

    Society at large has been fooled into thinking that speech (LLM) and other generative AI lead to AGI. But the reality is that these models have more in common with encyclopedias and stock image libraries than intelligence.

    Everything on planet earth is finite, without exception. At the same time, everything can be renewed. The question of renewability is more about how much effort it is to return something to its original state to be used again. Iron is comparatively easy to refine back into its pure, usable form.
