AI, Art, & Sadness

Fascinating and sobering AI reflection by Daniel Miessler.

AI Art is doing what we thought would come from AGI.

It “understands” nouns, verbs, context, emotions, relationships, and can put them together in touching or fantastic near-pixel-perfect pieces, or generate relatable novelties like “a sad ice cream”.

See his post for why he thinks much knowledge work is “ice-cream and sadness”.

In the meantime, look at the collection of images he posted from Midjourney’s V4 engine:
