Summary
AI can create music that seems better, but it lacks true intent and personal experience. Real art comes from human feelings, mistakes, and unique ideas that AI cannot replicate. This challenge pushes artists to make more interesting, authentic work that reflects their true selves.

Given that we live in the era of TikTok and the 2x playback button and the inevitable AI-generated summary of this video, before you reach for these things, just know that I believe in you and I think that you can listen and start to draw your own conclusions from the information I would like to present to you and that thinking is good for you sometimes.

one of the things philosophy teaches us is that many of the big questions in life are too hard to answer because they’re just too big. Something like, “What is the point in making art when AI exists?” is a little bit broad. And if we want to answer that question, we have to break it down and attack it from a few different angles of smaller and more manageable chunklets, if you will. So instead of asking that, you have to ask yourself things like, why am I making art to begin with? Who am I making art for? Does my art need to exist publicly would be a good one. And if it does, what am I looking for in doing that? Is it success? Success, what does success actually look like to me as an artist?

assuming you have all your basic faculties about you, your mind, your ability to move and speak [music] and you have free time to do stuff, why bother creating? You know, you could do so many things [music] like build a fence or spray some bleach on a cyber truck or any number of other more useful things, but instead you chose poorly and became an artist. So, there’s got to be something there, I think. You know, and [music] I think it’s because your chosen medium as an artist, in this case, music, offers you an ability to translate your abstract ideas into a Tangible form. And that alone is what [music] I think separates you from the machines.
Arte como una forma de traducir experiencias subjetivas de distintos niveles de conciencia en una representación tangible. Redescripción representacional, sublimación.

I think the truth here, and I guess the solution is pretty simple. You just can’t outsource your own mind should you choose to use it.

to use what may be the most overused philosophical expression of all time. And I am sorry to do this. I think therefore I am. And to me, therein lies the answer here. All of this stuff [music] is a lot like riding a bike to the top of the mountain in GTA 5 and now [music] deciding that you know what it’s like to be a professional mountain biker. While you may have to some [music] extent the image of this thing, you do not and You cannot have by this process the actual experience. This may be a little bit of a cold shower here, but ultimately, art has [music] been down a long and troubled road of being turned into simply a commodity. And when it comes to [music] things like music, you know, the low-fi hip hop study tune and whatever that you flick on while you do the dishes, just like a dishwasher is a more efficient appliance to [music] finish these theoretical dishes, the AI art generators are a more efficient appliance for filling [music] this utilitarian side of art. So I think the existential question facing a lot of artists here is what makes their art good against the work of these perfect machines, lies in supposing that their work is a utility and [music] not art as an identity. Real art invites conversation. I think that’s something we can all agree on.
El arte no es solo el producto, sino que también el proceso y la experiencia de trabajar la obra. El quedarse afuera implica una relación artificial con el producto de tu trabajo, lo cual se puede pensar como un tipo de alienación. Posible relacionar esto con mi artículo sobre el uso de la IA en el trabajo, lo cual se puede vincular con la idea de Ricardo Rodolfo de que una adultez saludable requiere en algún nivel de la presencia de lo lúdico/transicional.

are you making your music to be heard or are you making it to be [music] listened to? I think there’s a very hard distinction between the two that people forget to sit down [music] and draw to some extent. So maybe what I’m trying to say here is, and this might be a little bit spicy, [music] maybe AI art didn’t kill your career as an artist; maybe it just raised the bar of how interesting [music] your work needs to be to yourself.

I think that as artists, what we chase and the dragon that we’re after is not actually perfection. It’s just novelty [music] and the pursuit of ideas that we find interesting to ourselves.

I [music] think it’s something that can not only make this one of the most interesting times to be an artist, but one of the most valuable. I think what I’m trying to get at with all this is that now maybe more than ever, [music] anything as an artist you do that is unique, new, random, or weird, or just kind of interesting has become inherently valuable again. And it has solved that fundamental supply and demand problem we’ve all been all too familiar with. And by taking these things that are maybe even an accident or whatever, and excising them to the point of intention, we now separate ourselves from the infinite wave of NPCs we may find ourselves up against in the interconnected world of the internet and stuff. And I think that idea is pretty [__] cool. Yeah.

your undeniable power as an artist [music] is to find things people are not looking at and shove it right in their faces. And that’s something that a prompt really cannot do [music], because it requires you to live in service of only what you truly feel.

AI art is not a window. It’s just a mirror.

AI art hot take here incoming cannot, will not, and won’t ever be anything more than an output. It is not actual human expression. The end.
