I think fictional artificial intelligence is divorced enough from real life ai that most people can probably keep them separate? For now? IDK. I do feel something similar to this though, when I see people criticizing generative ai for reasons that are like, "ai = the death of art and the human spirit!" instead of any kind of serious take like, the fact that people are using it for malicious disinformation and mass production of godawful slop.

You don't think that the death of art is a serious critical take?

I think the people who make the criticism are serious, but I think it's ultimately a panic reaction. "AI" as it exists can't truly think or create; it can only predict or iterate. And when it iterates off of other AI-generated material, the result is an incoherent mess. It needs for real people to keep creating real art -- and so do the rest of us. On balance, people can tell that something is off with AI art, and prefer the real thing.

Now, lest you say that, "AI is only going to keep getting better, and then what?" It may cheer you to know that newer AI models perform worse than older ones. They generate more nonsense; they make up more shit. They are less able to competently iterate than their predecessors (I suspect that this is because they're being trained on copies of copies of copies rather than on original material -- they're Baudrillard's simulacra made manifest. But I'm just a dabbler). I don't think we have as much to worry about as we've feared. I think the artifice is going to collapse in on itself.

(AYRT) Maybe if the art you're concerned about is like, corporate stock images? People have been making art to express themselves for all of human history and they're not gonna stop now, just like they didn't stop painting because photography was invented. And yeah, I think if someone says everyone is going to stop making art because gen ai exists, they have no idea what they're talking about. (If it's about art being profitable, there might be MORE of a point there, but there's a lot of good art that's not made for profit!)

"From today, painting is dead!" - Paul Delaroche, circa 1840. As we all know, he was right, and no famous paintings have been made since.

It's absolutely wild how some people just can't seem to grasp that there are tons of people who do things like make art or write fic for the sheer joy of creating or expressing themselves, not because they want money or attention out of it.
