Which sounds more like a question of how AI tools are used vs if they’re used at all.

Part of what I’m hearing in your point about vision vs labor feels related to Vilem Flusser’s work around technical images, and drawing a distinction between actively programming tools vs passively functioning on behalf of them.

Re craft, I feel like part of this technological shift is challenging the norms around perception of art and asking, are all artisans artists and are all artists artisans?

It seems like we’re heading down a path that is not dissimilar from the current state of consumer preference of some opting for conscious consumption (non GMO, fine dining, etc) and those that don’t care and will eat anything. And your example here about fashion.

If getting to an excellent output from an LLM takes skill, technical knowledge and expertise, and if further editing and manipulating that output with other non AI tools requires skill, technical knowledge and expertise, where does the artist value start or stop?

It seems like there’s a lot of fear about AI tools replacing human creativity but idk that there’s enough curiosity or exploration of how it augments a human creative process. Is this art? youtu.be/YGyvLlPad8Q?...

How do you know how all content you see online is made to make that evaluation?

Does time and effort always automatically equal artistic value or meaning?

How much AI tool usage is too much / how much human intervention is not enough? Is quality of final output the factor of whether or not the use of AI tools is ultimately accepted? vimeo.com/1062934927
