#fearmonger #musk is now proposing a #ZeroTariffZone between #USA and Europe.
A #ttip 2.musk!
Everybody in Europe must be clear that the conditions will be equivalent to partial or full #subjection under project 2025!
Dave HeidtI lived abroad my first 18 yrs on this planet. This researcher speaks the truth.
Musta dawned on me thusly“The cult of a strong will”: while #trump is delusional/inconsistent, he is consistently persistent
Classic #fascism defines nebulous groups/institutions to dehumanize and #fearmonger. No illogic perceived ridiculous by a #truebeliever. Fear becomes hate. They have a “them” to hate, binding “us” tightly
The #truebeliever consumer is told what to fear/hate, even though they have no real world experience that would validate that fear
Those who spew the fear do it for the money, fame, power

SvenGAs my timeline is overflowing again with supposedly #artist statements on how they fear #AI would supersede them.
Do you really value your own work that low? Is it so #generic that an AI could replace you anytime? If that truly and actually is the case, probably #arts aren't the right thing for you 
But seriously, people that #fearmonger over AI replacing artists seem to neither understand how AI works, nor creative processes.
What we call AI has nothing to do with #creativity, let alone intelligence or smartness. It just "knows" how certain colours and colour combinations are preferred, how certain word combinations get more positive or more negative feedback etc. Because some person or algorithm put those values in its database. Basically anything that can be evaluated by number values of sorts. It does not understand how and why, it only "knows", because it's trained for that.
Actual creative processes on the other hand aren't really about the result itself. They're literally about the process, about putting your #emotions into your work, for the better or worse, thinking about and feeling what you want to express, not about what may be pleasing to others, that's just a convenient byproduct more often than not.
And there'll always be people that are able to distinguish between a piece of art with blood, sweat, and tears of the creator and something that is generated for the sole purpose of pleasing people. I personally don't mind the latter being created by a machine and I'll also happily consume it if it triggers the right things for me, but that is what at best probably could be classified as #craftsmanship, the implementation of #rules and #techniques, not #art.
One very widely accepted definition of art is #irritation, the (more or less) deliberate violation of #conventions and rules while #conforming to others. A machine - per definition - cannot do that. It has to be made a rule to break a specific rule, which leads the whole concept of rule-breaking ad absurdum, PLUS it skips the whole creative process.
The one thing AI can take away from artists however is a(n easy) way to generate #funds for making art. This indeed is something that should IMO be up for debate on a broad basis as I don't see any easy or immediate solution to that but it likely has to be addressed by society as a whole.
TL;DR: A machine cannot create or replace art. These claims are just nonsense.

oldguycrustyThis such a great thread. This bit really nails it for me.
""AI" is not "good at writing"—it's designed to produce plausible sounding synthetic text."
