#oldnavy Seriously? Are your designers tired? It’s been 4 yrs of high, to sky high, waists. As a curvy, short-waisted girl with boobs, enough already!🙈

Fashion? Maybe. But would it kill you to offer at least a few medium-rise options other than 2 pairs of jeans 🙄 #curvygirl

On The Road With Al & Ivy Presents: The Space Age Oracle

Topic: How Will A.I. Change Art? Part Two

Note: I'm sure you'll notice this series isn't a structured article delivered in parts. I'm exploring the subject like many others are.

The problem with A.I. "scraping" isn't that the output is derivative. Humans scrape all the time. The entire education process is based on studying data, sound, and images already created.

The problem of counterfeit books, like those that purported to be written by authors such as Jane Freidman, which were recently taken down off Amazon, is the age-old problem of bootlegging rearing its head again.

The Rock Music Industry is a good example. The first known rock bootleg is said to have been "The Great White Wonder," a collection of demos by Bob Dylan and the Band, which was released later as "The Basement Tapes."

There's a lot of history to that bootleg, and it's worth researching on the Internet, but I'll stick to the narrower point of it being the quasi-official start of that illegal Industry.

The early vinyl bootlegs tended to be a limited release, as even with some pressing equipment becoming more accessible, most had to be slipped through a legitimate pressing plant under a fake title. Bootlegging was always a corruption issue, also.

Tape and, later on, C.D.s made the process of stealing music easier, as anybody could buy the equipment, and in the present, digital recording has automated the process so a bootleg can be easily distributed worldwide, virtually without cost.

In the case of A.I.-generated art, it's not as simple as being a mean old computer app that steals stuff. It's a tool, and any unethical use is due to humans with the same mentality as bootleggers.

The music bootleg was a product that enabled the seller to skip the stages (and expense) of creation, performance, and manufacture.

Almost every artist starts off as a beginner, which generally means studying and being influenced by previous works. Thanks to the sources like the Internet and mass media (and not because of it), that process produces results that can be seen as original, derivative, or copies and identified as such.

An example would be music. A group like Fleetwood Mac started as a Blues group, developed a style of its own, then went through stages to become major rock and pop stars.

A.I. not only has the potential to steal a lot of the established chain of talent to produce art but adds the troubling dimension of assimilating lesser-known work. As said in previous entries, the latter can derail the careers of new artists who find their efforts incorporated into an A.I. work.

One could say that A.I. could steal much of an artistic genre's future and be a boon to bootleggers. The potential for exploitation is immense as no matter what anyone says, A.I. is a product of human labor and talent (and greed).

As a matter of disclosure, some of you might wonder why I've moved my blog to X. I moved it due to the controversy over Elon Musk and Reddit limiting access to the API by A.I. companies.

Many here may not like Musk, but the body of my work is at least a little safer from scraping on a site that limits access, and while not perfect, the process of restricting access via restrictions and cost is on the right side of the debate on A.I. scraping.

The issue is complex, and there will be a lot of discussion, so my opinions here are only one voice in the debate.

I think the current generation of new artists will use A.I. more and more and will have to navigate the intricate web of laws and entrenched attitudes to find their potential. Every new technology has and will be abused, but has resulted in new art or advances a genre into a new future.

In part 3, I'll talk about new art forms created by social networks like Tik Tok and YouTube, which are rooted in the older television age.
