AI has no intuition, and that's one of the problems I see with its creativity. It can't intuitively know what people will enjoy or find weird/surprising. Your point about the mega data centres is also a real concern - we can only hope as AI develops that it uses less data & electricity.
Absolutely - while I don't doubt 'what it can do now' will require far less power to do in the future, that future will also be full of the promises of 'what it could do with more power'. If there's no integral sense of 'worth' (that is, expended energy, effort, or risk) in any of this new creative content anyway, I guess there's really no real reason for it to ever stop?
I agree, Jana. Very thought-provoking, thanks, Tim. I'm currently on final (I hope!) novel edits and have started using Grammarly as recommended by a novelist friend in my writing group. As my brain can be a scary place to live at times (beware of dreams) I'd hate it to learn from me. On the other hand, it does point me to words and sentences I need to pay better attention to. It is not always correct though. We use certain words to emphasise points. It doesn't like that and must be ignored. Creative writing needs to be interesting not simply grammatically correct. My brain is for the former, its AI for the latter! Cheers
