Anyone else feeling a strong urge to watch how this AI thing pans out while crafting something real and hand made, with your real hands? Or are you embracing this new reality whole heartedly?
I feel really unsure about AI but I think it feels icky. Part of me worries that we are on the cusp of a tidal wave and everyones getting excited about the fun stuff without thinking about the bigger picture and what could be around the corner. I also feel really ripped off when I see that something that caught my eye is AI generated.
I think AI art will be a bit like special effects / CGI in movies where as we become more exposed to its presence, we will see it for what it is. I've seen a few interiors/architectural AI images that show a utopian utterly gorgeous home layouts- but after a while, seeing these images regularly means I can discern what is actually built and what is AI generated. In art, I think many seek the imperfect hand of an imperfect human- its inspiring and comforting. The imperfections speak to our hearts. While mass produced art may become more often generated by AI, I think real human endeavours will still hold a place and value for many.
i just want to slide back under my rock and rock back and forth. it's all just too much for me these days, i feel like im being swept to the edge of the waterfall with no chance of grabbing anything to prevent me going over. I know that makes me sound old and stubborn, but i now wonder can i trust anything i see, hear or read? I don't want to give up all the great things that have come in my life time, but also i just want to tap out and live in the real world.
Ahhh... I hear you. I'm thinking a lot about how real hands-on skills and using all of our human senses to figure out what to trust will be a life raft for those of use that find all of this overwhelming. 🧡
Love the way you've reacted to the AI push - such a genius idea, use your hands to create imperfect beauty! Thanks for the podcast recommendations, I've just added them to my list to listen to this week on my long country drives. I've been toying with the idea of using AI for things like subject headings and organising the rambling of words for blog posts.

I totally agree! "many seek the imperfect hand of an imperfect human- its inspiring and comforting." I love that. Thanks for your words.
