In that sense, the fair system would be generative AI systems that stayed out of the creative domain, that continue to let human creatives do what they do best, to create really truly imaginative ideas and visuals, and then use generative AI for domains where it is more reasonable. For example, conversational chatbots seem like a reasonable use for them as long as they don't hallucinate.
Certainly, I know what it's not because I'm not an artist, not particularly artistic. Some people can say there's an inkling of creativity in what we do, but it's not nearly the same. I guess what I will say is creativity is inspiring. Artists are inspiring. Whenever I think back to what I know of art and how I appreciate art, I think back to college.
You know, I went to Yale, and I remember many cold Saturday mornings. I would walk out, and there's piles of snow, and everything would be super quiet, and I would take a short walk over to the Yale Art Gallery, and it was amazing. I would be able to wander through halls of masterpieces. Nobody there except me and maybe a couple of security guards.
It's always been inspiring to me how people can see the world so differently through the same eyes, through the same physical mechanism. That is how I get a lot of my research done, is I try to see the world differently, and it gives me ideas.
So when I meet artists and when I talk to artists to see what they can do, to see the imagination that they have at their disposal that I see nowhere else, you know... Creativity, it's the best of humanity. What else is there?
