alt Hacker NewsDelegating the thinking and feeling parts of the human experience, mechanizing human creativity itself, is a direct attack on human dignity.
It makes people dumber, less self-sufficient and (maybe worst of all) less interesting.

I was never going to be interesting or truly self-sufficient, anyway. As for dumber? Sure, I guess, at least about some things.

And I'm honestly sad for anyone who disagrees because it indicates they don't have a deeper relationship to art. For me, art is fundamentally about communication. It's someone sharing a little bit of themselves. AI might be able to produce pretty images and sounds, but it has no experience or feelings so the art it creates lacks that magic of a shared human connection. Pardon the crass analogy, but it's like if someone said "I don't need any intimate partner, I have internet porn". It's a depressing mindset because it indicates that people can't even see what they are missing.
