“The promise of generative AI is that it can learn the underlying meta-structures of the training data, so that it can recompose and extrapolate them in ways that are novel or not represented well in the training data. I say that’s the ‘promise’ because in reality you'll find that generative AI actually does a pretty terrible job of producing truly novel outputs. …

This isn't to say that these models can’t interpolate between things represented in their training data; that they’re quite impressive at- this is basically ‘style transfer’ and they do an excellent job at it.

“This is the work. Is all of it equally enjoyable? No, but it is what trains skills and shapes us as people who make this particular class of thing. I grew up around artists, and I came to realise — although I only found the words for it recently — that the art, in the sense of a product — a painting, or a sculpture — was only part of what they were making, and not always the important part. They were making themselves as makers, which is what is often lost when expediencies, conveniences, or short cuts are employed. …
