@ShadSterling@mastodon.social @mattblaze@federate.social Suppose I want a photograph of, say, a mountain framed by tree branches. I could look at parks on google, see other people have taken such photographs at a specific place, go to the park, and take my own photograph. I had to find something, sure, but I used other people to do that--nothing I found hadn't, in it's general nature, not been found before. My photograph will still be different, influenced by my own actions but also the random vagaries of nature.

@ShadSterling@mastodon.social That strikes me as fairly analogous to asking the AI for a "picture of a mountain framed by tree branches"--what it produces will be influenced by what came before, but the random nature of what it shows to me will be unique, and I retain an ability to curate and fiddle with the results it presents to me. (Certainly as it pertains to my own participation and authorship in the process)
