The things that I see AI art boosters throw around are: (1) most people can't tell the difference between it and human art, and (2) it will become another tool like the camera.

I think that both of those are actually reasons AI art isn't going to replace the real thing.

I looked into what's making it act this way. The short version is, pirated metadata turns out to be a bad thing to build a class action settlement on https://t.co/5A6HmdQwGb

Btw, The Rose Field itself is extremely messy and breaks the mythology in quite a few places, but I also had a ton of fun reading it. They call that the Doctor Who paradox.

Philip Pullman's new book finishing up Lyra's story came out yesterday! I wrote about how Pullman fits into the past few decades of American book banning https://t.co/CLeZtgqirr
