Should it be democratic even if it is crap?
I often think about art, and people who make art. And about democracy. But never have these two interacted more than when we talk about OpenAI. AI has slowly become an undeniable part of life; even Google searches are not searches anymore– they are AI-generated, guided responses that make your life easier, and set fire to a few trees. But that is not the ‘harmful’ AI, the one that simply answers your questions, the one that has truly captivated people, is generative AI, the one that ‘creates’. It is creative, and dynamic– writing personalized papers, literature reviews, articles, headlines, and copyediting ads. Now, it can even create artwork. All at one command. One sentence, one input picture, and voila you’re a creator.
