· Föderation EN Fr 07.03.2025 21:37:29 @ngaylinn I haven't thought any longer than a few nanoseconds about this... but the one thing I've ever noticed about art is that it is generally hugely subjective... and I guess that would also imply "having something to say" is probably akin to "speaking one's own language"... so then you'd have to back up and start to define what it means to have something to say... no? |
Föderation EN Fr 07.03.2025 22:14:38 @PHolder That's a good point! Let me clarify my wording. To some extent, I think every person (and every language model) has a unique language--or at least a unique dialect, style, etc. People and AIs can generate text, either in their own "language," or by imitating someone else's. But when they do this, the human doesn't always "have something to say," and the AI never does. "Having something to say" is about an urge to express or communicate a particular feeling or idea. It has to matter to you, at least a little. An AI does not care. It feels no urges. It has no experience or opinion to share. So, it may generate text, but it has nothing to say. A person may make art that nobody understands or appreciates. It may be utterly trivial and private. But if they express themselves in a way that is artistically meaningful to them, then they're doing art. |
