Being “bad” at art is good, actually!** **My favorite excerpt from my appearance with @emilymbender on the @404media podcast with @samleecole in the episode “The Marketing Tricks of ‘Artificial Intelligence’”.

  • @alex@dair-community.social @emilymbender@dair-community.social @404media@flipboard.com @samleecole@journa.host Those are such important points about generative AI to discuss and spread. We are losing so much to this overhyped technology. This was an excellent podcast episode.

    @alex@dair-community.social @emilymbender@dair-community.social @404media@flipboard.com @samleecole@journa.host I like Kurt Vonnegut's take on it "The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow" That's what Generative AI is taking away from us. And there's a fantastic piece by @WeirdWriter@caneandable.social here about just how easy it is to lose your voice to the machine https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/the-colonization-of-confidence/
