CryptoNaturalistPeople seem to understand that owning a 3D printer doesn’t make you a sculptor. I’m not sure why they struggle with the idea that having AI write for you doesn’t make you a writer.
★ Amy Star ★@CryptoNaturalist wdym, ordering a latte from starbucks definitely makes me a barista. I even told them to use whole milk! /s
Steffen Voß@CryptoNaturalist It surely made me realize, that I am not an illustrator. 😄
acb@CryptoNaturalist @cstross Well, if a Muskoid billionaire can become a visionary inventor by hiring some scientists and engineers, ordering them to design an iPod submarine or car subway or something and putting his name on that, so the average joe can become an artist or writer by buying a bagful of LLM tokens and telling the plagiarism machine what to draw/write
Fooker@CryptoNaturalist oooh, that reminds me so much of when I was the first at my job to have a 3d printer.. "i need this part, can you print it with your magic machine?" "Sure, give me the stl file and i'll do it." "What? You can't magically make this random shape that i barely explained without me making an effort?!?!"
I hadn't seen the parrallel until now. Thank you, it's going to be a good point to add to my (way too big) argument for why LLMs aren't going to take over the world.
@CryptoNaturalist the problem is people with no sense in art would take whatever printed from 3d printers as sculpture! And the number of those people are actually not decreasing!
Pwassonchat the enby catboy@CryptoNaturalist if you create the 3D file, it's actual work and you still deserve some sort of credit, though. It's not like printing something you downloaded. (Can AI create 3D files yet?)
Martin Vermeer FCD@CryptoNaturalist Hmm. Like owning a camera doesn't make one a painter. Still, it might make one a different kind of artist.
SixSider@martinvermeer @CryptoNaturalist With the 3D printer, it's the creation of the models you then print.
