I don’t even think LLMs can produce art.

Is this “Abstract artist” in the room with us now?
Meaning, they’re all on drugs?
Specifically brown acid
kinda disappointed that nobody in the comments is X-risk pilled enough to say “the LLMs want you to think they’re hurt!! That’s how they get you!!! They are very convincing!!!”.
Also: flashbacks to me reading the chamber of secrets and thinking: Ginny Just Walk Away From The Diary Like Ginny Close Your Eyes Haha
the future that e/accs want!
Ok I read more of that thread. Why do these fucks feel the need to steelman tear gas?
The US deploys tear gas against protestors on the reg. Meanwhile they straight up merc’d MLK. Clearly the US thought MLK was worse than tear gas, so not sure what point the OP was trying to make.
is yud lurking sneerclub? This is uncharacteristically succinct
If someone asked me to write a metafictional short story, I would simply not.
Six word metafictional story:
“Write a metafictional short story.”
“No.”
With that voice? Rant all you like!

Just to be clear, I agree with you and am not debating or arguing with you in any capacity with anything I say from this point onward.
The output of genAI can be interesting and thought-provoking, but ultimately, it is not art. When humans create art, they have a vision of what they are trying to make. That vision might be fairly concrete, like "I want to depict this apple," or abstract, like "I want to express sadness." Then, they craft in their medium until they have a work fulfilling their vision. LLMs don't do this. They don't have cognition, much less intent or understanding, so they can't have "vision". When they "create" something, they do it without understanding the artistic/creative language of the medium used. Whatever the output is, it is iteratively massaged noise that some algorithm evaluates to be statistically correlated with the input prompt.
<insert paragraph here that steelmans the idea of an "AI Artist", which I can't be bothered to do, but structurally would appear here in this comment>
I don't think someone who takes the output of an LLM and presents it as "art" is an artist, as I don't think the output of an LLM is art. If I did think that the LLM could produce art, then the person presenting the output still is not an artist; the LLM would be. But I don't think that. If someone were to take the output of an LLM and change it in some way, it might be art, much like how someone might create a collage, but generally you don't see that. You usually just see people take the output and flog it as art.
