While I tend to agree with the overall direction of this comparison, there is a lot of survivorship bias in play here. We have only the best art pieces surviving from history. There is likely lots of terrible art that was lost along the way. The banana taped to the wall won’t survive to be compared to future pieces.

Funny story. I’ve started letting my oldest (late elementary school age) listen to select Darknet diaries podcast episodes. He loves the idea of being a hacker. We just finished an episode about social engineering using AI deep fake voices and number spoofing.

Today my wife gets a message from his teacher. He searched online in class and found a website that will do voice cloning. He then recorded his teachers voice and cloned it. He then used the cloned voice in class.

Sigh. Kids these days. I had to have the talk about using other people’s voice without their consent when I really just wanted to tell him I thought that was clever and funny.
