There is plenty of legally-gray implications of something like this. If they're eventually deriving these images from artists or photographer's work, who gets paid?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-58930937371800153322017-05-05T08:23:56.789-04:002017-05-05T08:23:56.789-04:00Robert, Rich, and Kessie, yes, it's hard to kn...Robert, Rich, and Kessie, yes, it's hard to know how to respond emotionally to this. We adjust our brains and our daily lives to so many technological miracles (Google maps, AI, VR, driverless cars, etc) and they come racing at us on an almost daily basis. The prospect of a powerful image synthesizer is beyond wonderful and beyond unsettling at the same time. And it's also a bit unnerving to think that these capacities have been developing, not by the intervention of ingenious human programmers, but rather by two computer systems honing their mysterious skills in their own darkness.<br /><br /> Artists were both threatened and strengthened by the tools that photography—and Photoshop 100 years later—brought us. I suppose we'll be threatened and strengthened by image synthesizers too. How our creative strategies will adapt is impossible to know until this new creature evolves further. I can only hope that we humans will want to embrace the hand-made, brain-made art, and that the bedrock of human ingenuity will remain untouched by artificial simulations.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-36758713040610842062017-05-04T23:18:48.188-04:002017-05-04T23:18:48.188-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17568134922097906207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-34606213688791990082017-05-04T17:59:24.058-04:002017-05-04T17:59:24.058-04:00"Unreal technology" ...
