And they keep telling us this is gonna make human artists obsolete?

@squeegee: I really like the words that aren’t but written in a script that isn’t.
Ref @Smapti’s comment I think AIs will be great for inventing alien cultural artifacts. You need to decorate the set of the next Star Wars movie? Use AI’s. It’ll be be real-seeming, but so wrongly Earth un-like that it’ll be perfect alien-ville.
Except that they aren’t “real-seeming”; every AI-generated image I’ve seen—this one definitely included—looks like a Thomas Kincade painting as viewed through a Vasoine-frosted lens. Actual graphical and designers and visual futurists create a unique ‘design language’ which makes each location and culture look distinct and generates a feeling in the viewer. This AI ‘visual gunk’ all looks like someone watched The Fifth Element late one night and then used Adobe Illustrator and a freeware clipart library to generate some crap they hope no one will actually look at, notwithstanding the extra fingers/limbs, flying cruise ships, hybrid aircraft/squid, and of course the gibberish text

I wonder how many people nationwide would respond, “I am canceling Amazon Prime…right after football season”? For that matter, I wonder how many of those people were going to do this anyway?
