Re: Xara AI
ok I guess, on the technical level which I will have to take at face value, but what about the wider picture
the more AI is used as a tool to produce something new, the more incestuous it becomes, the more watered down the result over time, the less new it actually is
that said artists nick left right and centre but artists adopt creative treatments whereas, for all it's hype, AI is at heart painting-by-numbers
if it were only used in creative situations to rough out ideas maybe not so bad, but that isn't going to happen, it already hasn't
threshold levels shift; what was pretty amazing today becomes yesterday's news; it is like a drug, sooner or later there will be an almighty hangover when it can no longer pull unexpected rabbits out of hats
there is a point of view that says AI can learn to be creative; I'm an animator, I can see AI being 'creative' in the same way that bugs bunny appears to walk and talk - but that is the illusion of moving pictures, and any creativity displayed by AI is an illusion too; no matter how good it is, it is still painting by numbers underneath
