Reposted by Fernando CucchiettiZach Weinersmith @zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 15hI think it's not a great argument against AI eating a lot of the arts to say that AI can't be creative/original. Setting aside the question of whether they can... does *most* art strike you as extremely original? The vast majority of people, including great artists most of the time are mid. 3422616
Fernando Cucchietti @fercook.bsky.social · 28/09/2026A side issue on this debate is that frontier labs are recklessly posting things on blogs--not doing science, just pure marketing. Scientists take a long time between discovery and publishing because they need to make sure they are not pumping out bullshit. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/s...nytimes.comDid Anthropic’s A.I.
