It’s sad we live in a world where people have to be angry about AIs making beautiful things. I’m not saying there are no reasons to be mad, but fundamentally, beneath the capitalism and the fighting for recognition, AIs have learned to make beautiful things. And that’s beautiful.
This is not an invitation for anyone to explain to me why they’re mad. I have my own, very firm opinions about AI artists, and basically, I am for them.
I’m happy robots have learned to draw. I want to see where else it goes. I want to see what humans and AIs can make together.
My book, Starwhal in Flight, has a robot among the main characters who’s an artist. Zhe supports zir chosen family with artwork. Zhe leads a D&D-like game (Starplosions & Spacedroids) for zir friends, making them happy and bringing people together.
I love the idea of AI artists.
