You’re giving them way too much credit. These companies sell the illusion of success. It’s in their interest to only find just as many false positives to seem like they have it under control. They make money from these false positives, after all.

Usable quantum computers are just around the corner, just as nuclear fusion and world peace.

Something like a 5 ¼" archival SSD would be really cool. Just a solid storage chonk, that you can forget in a drawer.

Pipedream, I know.

And if you remember, that this whole shebang was only started, because Snowden revealed that the NSA spied on all of us, it’s getting much much darker.

Correct.

And especially artists, or people aspiring to be artistic, are suffering from an inferiority complex which they try to hide behind grandiose “higher values” of art.

AI threatens to expose that art is meaningless unless you can use it to distinguish yourself from the plebs, or those you deem plebs.

Exactly. And putting value into things just because they’re made by humans is a stupid idea.

Humans don’t exist on a separate plane, removed from everything natural and artificial. That’s hubris galore.

So you’re out of arguments and resort to ad hominem?

Well, that’s not very poetic of you.

Or, there simply isn’t anything to “get”.

Art is often enough deliberately made in such a way that you can’t know what was meant, without knowing beforehand what the artist meant. Framing that as some form of sophistication is simply delusional gatekeeping. It’s the attempt to set the own class apart, nothing more.

These are memes. Symbols that only make sense, if you know the reference. Treating these as indicators for anything is just an attempt to create an in-group.

Or maybe accept that this idea was crap all along?

You desperately try to create some form of human superiority, just to feel important. That superiority doesn’t exist. There’s no value in anything just because it’s made with “love”, that’s an illusion.

Most people don’t “get” poetry.

Did you channel your edgy 15 year old self for that? That’s incredibly arrogant and self absorbed.

If it’s literally indistinguishable from human poetry, about as many people want to read it as there are people wanting to read human poetry. And that’s about 12.

Or, maybe, we have to accept that art and all the grandiose and deep narratives around it are bullshit. It’s an illusion, it’s just a tool so some of us feel more important.

All that crap about not being made by humans is just the fear that the illusion of grandeur of humans might collapse.
