I want to ask you about creativity and art. (lemmy.world)

I look at these works of art created by artificial intelligence and I think: yes, it's beautiful, yes, it's good, but... What's the point? Where's the story, where's the work, if everything is so simple, then what's the point? It's no better than a store where you come and buy, although no, you come, take everything you need for free and leave. I don't see any value in it, it's just boring.

I understand you, but I know that AI is a tool that they are going to use to control, not to help people... But yes, you can use it, but I'll tell you this: if there is too much art, so much so that no one will pay for it, won't everything turn into a living garbage dump?

Corporate-owned AI (or anything corporate, really) will be used to control sooner or later. As such, I'm not a fan of those, and I agree with your concerns here. I like community-based and local LLMs, on the other hand.

if there is too much art, so much so that no one will pay for it, won’t everything turn into a living garbage dump? Chances are, if you ask most people in your immediate area, they'd prefer human-made art if they can find someone and can pay for their services. For me, AI art is a result of a "creative demand overflow", for lack of a better term, because not enough human artists are there to do everything.

You'll find someone willing to pay to differentiate themselves from the sameness of mass-produced AI art.

Well, in that case I'll have to go offline and live communication... To tell the truth, the Internet always seemed like an empty place to me, although I didn't want to admit it, but when AI appeared, it suddenly dawned on me. I believed in humanity until the end, but alas, I am disappointed.
