I'm so curious to hear your thoughts on this one! Read first, then I'll share something shocking. Scroll for seasonal reflections, a local AVL event & the announcement of a few new writing retreats.
Omg! The reveal was indeed surprising and shocking 🤣 mostly what I’m feeling in response is your capacity to make art in response to AI… the way you positioned the story and revealed its origin and then shared how it knew you… there’s something in there, the art making up against the harm of it. That feels like keeping the soul centered.
Not sure how I feel about AI - similar to other comments. I think there is great value in the ability to analyze large amounts of data and provide some insights. For example, in my world of rare diseases, using AI to comb through massive amounts of all kinds of data to find the needle in the haystack is beneficial. On the other hand, grabbing others work to "train" AI to me is just wrong. If the AI people are interested in training their apps they need to seek permission as well as provide proper remuneration to the owner of the work as well as acknowledgement, We have a long way to go sadly in crafting the container to hold AI to its highest good. I fear, as others have said, those who are predisposed to taking the easy way and using others work for their own good/profit tend to sometimes lead the way before the rest of us have a chance to catch our breath and create proper boundaries and guidelines.
I'm not sure what to make of AI generated anything so far. I know it may do good in the world, but I fear that it will also create opportunities for evil as well. I am concerned for any and all artists, writers, etc. who work so hard to put themselves into their work and may be 'replaced' (or maybe a better word is usurped) by such technology. AI cannot possibly generate the kind of intuitive, personal works of art and writing that come from the human heart and soul. I'm celebrating the first stirrings of spring by planting snap peas, walking quietly in my woods to look for the first ephemerals to pop up, and writing or painting every day.
Well it being an AI explains the unusual names for the bear and wolf 😂
I admit to being torn by the whole AI question. I feel like the creators are leading it in the wrong direction; using pirated books to 'train' AI to be creative seems a little wasteful. In my mind, the benefits and useful applications of AI are rooted in it being used to help people who might need it. I keep thinking how useful it would be to those with limited capabilities - caregivers for seniors for example, but I can't figure out why they want it to be creative 🤔.

I'm trying to keep my mind open anyway!
