First, thank you for recommending my tiny corner of Substack, I appreciate the work you do on yours.
Second, I know we're not the typical business-driven AI publication (kind of the point), but if you've seen my work and you think it's worth a guest post on the ethical/philosophical side of AI, let's connect, or maybe even have Cogitator Prime do your first AI Authored guest post : )
Hi Michael. Would you consider a guest post on the intersection between AI and the arts? I’m thinking a discussion of AI-generated fiction, movies, music, poetry, art - that kind of thing?
I think the arts are about exploring what it means to be human, and it will very interesting to see our reaction to their generation by a non-human entity.
I keep going back on forth on this personally, one minute I feel strongly that we won’t want to read a novel or watch a movie that explores something central to being human if we know it’ll have been written by a machine.
Other times I’m swayed by the simple fact that soon enough we just won’t be able to tell where it came from, whether the artists of tomorrow have created a whole thing by themselves, or have used an AI at some point in the process. The lines will blur and perhaps all we’ll care about is how good a piece of art is.
If that ends up being the case I think it will lead to some hard introspection about what it means to be human in the first place. If the things we most commonly associate with the heights of human expression can be replicated or bettered by an AI.
Anyway, thought that sort of question might be interesting to explore over an essay. But if that’s not the kind of thing you’re after, no matter.
