Hmm. Art is expression through a medium. Technical perfection does not mean good art if there is no expression, no feeling, no soul.
So-called artificial intelligence (a marketing ploy: they are learning algorithms) is not conciousness. Roger Penrose explains this better than I ever could. Using AI just makes us stupid.
Looking forward to your views on "precision fermentation"!

Forgot to say that computers produce simulations. A chess computer simulates a chess player, no matter how good it is, it never "plays" chess, it has no awareness of the game. Same with art. There is no passion, no pain, no joy, no life. Just very complicated balls falling into slots. A simulacra. This is why it is worthless.
That's a great way of describing it. And I agree, it is worthless. Yet, our culture is giving it worth. Possibly since we're so starved of meaning and beauty, we'll eat the cheapened thing until we're sick.
As shitty as it feels for artists to have their work being stolen it does excite me to think about how AI will disrupt markets. I think the more disruption their is, the more that people will begin to wake up in all areas of life.
