I liked Crawford’s defense of slop and think both rebuttals missed the point of his argument.
I expect that high-level tastes… will not be satisfied by AI-assisted art unless either the AI or the human creator has high-level tastes as well
I agree with this; this is the case in all the other mediums (you can’t create a good song, or ballet, or watercolour painting unless you have good taste) so I don’t see why it wouldn’t also be the case for AI assisted art as well.
One direction I think artists can take AI is to just increase the complexity of their pieces. No one is going to spend 5000 weeks creating a single work of art (the average human lifespan is 4000 weeks), but if a good artist can, with AI, create something in 50 weeks that would take them 5000 weeks without it, I would be interested in seeing the result.
