Generative AI allows the creation of all manner of derivative works, including horrific family chocolate factory-themed days out. What about true inspiration?
I use ChatGPT to create programming code and I'm amazed at its abilities to debug. I mean, you'd assume it would write perfect code, but it obviously does not because it only knows what it was trained on, which may or may not have been accurate.
But when I tell it that the code it wrote doesn't work, it will suggest solutions based on alternative ideas, or even make guesses on what might be happening. To me, that's the brilliance of ChatGPT.
Perhaps a future race of silicon-based life forms will produce its own Robin Williams counterpart, and we humans will never understand what it is about that being that makes it so creatively sentient, just like AI will never understand what made our Robin Williams so amazing.
I thought the Robin Williams joke was excellent - actually pretty surprised GPT-4 generated that.
Great article, looking forward to more!
