Talking About AI
With more communication about AI, its value, promise, and delivery, I wanted to continue developing the idea of 80/20 Aesthetics.
Who is to use AI, why, and to what effect? If you were to seek creative service, what is the delta you’re missing when you use chatGPT instead?
It is as subjective as where you buy your coffee: a function of perceived value against existing or imagined alternatives.
All value in an algorithm, as vast as we can imagine it to be, is bounded. It can never truly surprise (be creative) for the sheer fact that it is meta-fixed. The most innovative chess-playing algorithm cannot handle a change in the game’s rules. It can only offer value within the domain and correlation trained on. It can’t make surprising juxtapositions or novel arrangements of ideas (be creative) continuously. It is bound to by its sandbox.
