Artificial Intelligence, artificial ingredients, artificial Christmas trees... Where do we draw the line?! Come along with me down the rabbit hole, as I explore the capabilities of new technologies, such as: Lensa, the A.I. portrait app, OpenAI's GPT3, and artificial Christmas trees from big box retailers.
Does creating "art" require sentience from the artist? If a computer can create beauty beyond human capabilities, but has no concept of what that even means, does it still hold the same creative value?
If a flawless artistic masterpiece is painted by A.I., is it the creative equivalent of a plastic Christmas tree? Can we even call it art?
Is A.I. art hollow like a dead log?
Does it inspire and bring life or does it lack the critical zest of a human touch?
Are we doomed to a future filled with new pictures, but lacking true art?
Will A.I. improve until it rivals the scriptures and eventually even has heart?
Humans are masterful creators; almost god-like in our ability to bring something from the world of thought into the world of 3D reality. We are made in God's own image. Creation is what we do, and until now, no other animal species in the history of this planet has done it better.
But if we handover our creative tasks to A.I. are we destined to be a species of uncultured swine doomed to walk this Earth void of purpose beyond our roles as valued consumers. Should we be purists when it comes to culture and traditions so that we aren't at-risk of losing them to the passage of time?
If we allow technology to dilute our culture with fake art and fake Christmas trees, what's next? Will we lose the very essence of what it means to be human? Will we still advance as a species if we try to outsource the powers of invention?
Only time will tell...
