This week l found an interesting case that l wanted to write about how someone won an art competition using an AI generated image and the other artists in the competition were really upset. The thing is he didn’t actually break any rules. I found the backslash to be very interesting and something fairly common in today’s society with the way that AI is viewed. From what l’ve read in the media AI is spun to be this new and imposing advancement in technology, something that when too far, too automatic. The article about the artwork really reinforced that even though the guy never broke any of the rules he was still endlessly criticized. The work was degraded as not real art and something that requires no effort. This is l think one of if not the biggest misconceptions about AI generations from my experience so far, the generation can be very hard to control being extreme finicky and a lot more time consuming than people would think. This is exactly what the articles addresses with it taking the artist over 80 hours and producing around 900 different drafts. No, it may not be conventional, but l whole heartedly believe that the AI generation are art and require an insane amount of skill, time and passion and isn’t that something that should be awarded. This reading was very insightful and interesting with a lot of real-world implications, and it fit in nicely with what we worked on in class this week. In the slides we looked at different types of media generations and one that really interested me that l did some extra research on was showrunner it’s a program that will allow views to essential create the show they want to watch. You put in a short description and the ai creates a scene or episode of that show. The idea of showrunner is both really exciting and frightening that fact that the media in the future could be entirely made by what a viewer is feeling when they sit down on the couch is mind blowing. For me as someone who wants to make media l’m hoping that there is still demand for media being made by people. I see with how much talk there is around AI that it will improve and grow exponentially but l’m just hoping that even when it does reach these next steps that people still make things themselves and tell their stories.
