When people talk about gen AI and art they constantly underestimate peoples’ ability to push the boundaries of creativity in both practice and perception.
@adam_ape_ IMO Education is about increasing qualitative awareness (e.g. things that make something good) whereas manipulation plays more into social proof and belonging. But I actually think both can be avenues to developing authentic taste over time. Social proof evolved as a shortcut.
@christinelu I agree with this. And IMO most builders are too infatuated w making the tech front and center, rather than invisible. You’ll live and die with perception of NFTs rather than anchoring to the more inherent needs of people and communities.
A gentle plea to AI art critics to focus on the material threats to consent and livelihood. Because those are real measurable discussions with actionable solutions.
Please stop trying to define what art is or isn't or copyright law, it's a losing battle and waste of time
Taipei has this uniquely calm exuberance that fills you up in so many ways. Of course through the stomach, but more deeply through the heart. The amount of generosity and kindness I’ve experienced this week has made me a lover of this place for life. 🇹🇼 @buzhidao_tw
