Zach WeinersmithMaybe I'm just crazy, but I feel like there is not enough freaking out going on vis-a-vis recent AI developments. It seems to me science, the arts, transportation, engineering... everything is going to be changed, if not in 10 years certainly in 30. It feels to me like there's a lot of denial going on, of the form "well, it can't do [this one thing]" but that was said about chess programs in the 90s. They're now absolutely unbeatable.
Like, speaking for myself, I'm 40. I expect before I die to meet a computer that could reproduce and expand my entire artistic corpus, possibly in a matter of hours or minutes. I have no idea what the proper emotional response is. On the one hand, for obvious reasons it should be depressing. On the other it's sort of a relief to think all the striving and jealousy between artists will be rendered pointless.
Lucy Steigerwald@ZachWeinersmith Chess has a specific goal of winning. Does art have a goal that AI can really do?

@LucyStag @ZachWeinersmith Well, it does when the art was commissioned by somebody else at least.
