Did some more AI lead narrative righting/RP stuff and I really do feel like if you do enough of that you get way less afraid of AI generation in general, cause you realize these systems can only reach beyond low mediocrity almost practically by design.
Image AI stuff hides it a liiitttle better but when you do AI writing you see all the painful tropes, all the trash, all the stock lines that haunt me like "She had curves in all the right places" and "she had hips and knew how to use them"... Women getting bitchy at each other because, when two women talk in a lot of trash fiction, that's... how awful writers tend to lean things??
Just brutal mediocrity that, through randomness, can accidentally drift into brilliance. As these systems have improved, they haven't gotten more clever, or more inspired, they have gotten more coherent.
This... isn't going to change without changing how these AIs are made. They're designed to find average, to find the most likely, to predict what comes next. But artists draw pictures for a reason. Writers write sentences for a reason. AI write sentences to... predict a mathematical model. And it kinda works?? But it works like a hollow ghost. It can fool you at first, but after awhile you can feel the grooves etched into their models. You can feel the artifice... and it can totally still be fun to mess with, but it is a poor, oblivious creative partner at best.
People will say to 'look at the hands!!" with AI art, but I rarely see the need? No one would have drawn a picture like that. You look at a picture and see the subtle intents the artist had -- the things they wanted to focus on, the things they find appealing -- but an AI? The art just is. Art with no overarching purpose. The "average american family" of art, existing only as a statistic. Art devoid of intent. Vibeless. And that isn't changing any time soon.
Anyways I don't mean this is as "Don't worry about AI it's fine haha!" there are like lots of ethical issues to tackle, but more in the sense of... The machines are much farther away then they appear.
