RE: How Do You Feel About AI Doing Creative Stuff?

in #technology7 years ago

You bring up an insanely good point!! I think that is the only differing factor between us and AI in terms of creativity. Ours come from a place of emotions and theirs from data. Maybe a computer scientist would argue that emotions is just another form of data for us humans, but that can be argued against too. But yeah, great point man, I hadn't even thought about it that way! And yeah, your distinctions make perfect sense!

Sort:  

i think, also, that there is a certain level of "drive" behind the motives of the human artist as opposed to the AI creating something. the AI is not compelled by some inner emotional turmoil to put paintbrush to canvas, nor would it willingly spend several hours sitting in one place out in nature waiting to take the perfect photograph at just the right time.

and sure, you could program the AI to figure out the right time to take the "perfect picture," but again...this doesn't allow for that certain intangible, unnameable thing that takes over when an artist creates something based on their own experiences and years of practice. there's an inner fire in the human that simply cannot be replicated in AI, no matter how hard one may try.

I guess what you are trying to say is that, AI will never know what it means to be "human". That "intangible" thing that an artist, or every human for that matter, could never be replicated inside a machine. I agree to that actually :)
