My almost written book is about this in many ways. Dreaming in Colour, Art, AI, and the Birth of a Posthuman Aesthetic. Implications for Intelligence, Beauty, and Educational Futures – radical tech, radical creativity, and radical new art schools…..This is not about LLM art. It is about what comes after, when machines stop being tools and become peers, and when we as makers must decide how to work alongside them without losing what is recognisably human in what we make in order to retain what is human.
It asks how our understanding of beauty has to change. It asks what happens if the machines, left to their own devices, decide to make art of their own, and what that alien aesthetic might even look like to us, or whether we could see it at all.
It thinks seriously about what art educators need to start doing now, and it asks what we might offer the machines in return for a true partnership rather than an arranged commercial relationship.
The book is set in 2050, not as prediction, but as destination, a fixed point far enough ahead to think without flinching, close enough to feel the obligation. I won't be there, but I hope some of these ideas make it.
It's a difficult conundrum. I've benefitted from AI helping me on countless problems, but it really does make so many assumptions that some areas it speculates about are wrong if you're asking a "why" question that I often find to challenge it when I suspect it's guessing. But it has been useful because it does get the answer with my time spent with doing that, and ultimately therefore it has a net benefit. Not to the planet, and not to me when down the line, the technology companies will start to charge us gradually more for it, but Pandora's box has been opened as has been said before.
As for video content, I can see AI being used more because of the savings in production costs, but along with the jobs that AI will take from those in the creative industry, it feels unfair to support it for larger productions, but then we'd potentially get nothing at all, so what can we do...?
They'll never get a robot to play a robot better than you Robert!
