No. It’s coming at them through a dating app. They are convinced it is real despite all evidence to the contrary. Can a human have real love for a bot? Can that love be real the way people defending AI “art” claim AI output can be “art”?

Tell that to my elderly relative who has fallen in love with a bot designed to ask for money after softing them up with complements. They refuse to give money and to believe the bot is a bot…

What you really need to do is to pay a collections attorney in South Carolina really well to argue on line and play a chess app all day… it’ll pay off down the line.

In all sincerity… congratulations!

Well stated.

I’m saying three things… I support living artists and their work. I oppose stealing from them via LLMs. I don’t believe LLMs create anything but output. Disagree all you like.

Ok

@Spockydog My take is that the person seeking to create art needs to at least be sentient. Art created by an LLM isn’t being created by anything with sentience… as such… it isn’t art.

Time for the Crimean bridge to really come down?

Understood. It is a pet peeve of mine. Sorry.

Hypothetically… a theory is something else. I hate that particular use of “in theory” because it undermines what “theory” actually is…

This is my honest view of Generative AI “Art”: I’m going to say until computers have sentience and an ability to be moved by beauty, crushed by despair, frustrated with ennui, they will not be able to create “art”. Art is intrinsically tied to the emotion that is a necessary part of human existence. Computers cannot make “art” until they can be moved by their brain’s own existence to create “art”. Do you see what I’m driving at? Even if Computers could “feel” their art should be incompressible to us because our existences are so very different from our silicone children’s existence.

Instead of hiring actors for “background” yes.

See my edit.

How is it “completely different”? Would you support film studios using GAI to create “generative actors” who never existed in real life instead of hiring background actors?
