🤖 AI: Andy and John from the “The New 60 Comic”
I once almost walked out on a dinner with friends when one of them insisted AI could do anything better than anyone. Not just better than me, better than anyone. It might be able to do things without emotion better than anyone. It might come up with a cure for a once seemingly incurable disease. It might figure out how to save Social Security. It might be able to copy someone’s writing style, but it couldn’t get to their emotional core. A comic book compadre, Sarah Andersen (of Sarah’ Scribbles) was once hacked, she has an easily recognizable style, and AI copied her illustration style and came up with material that was both racist and anti-semitic or politically alt-right. She isn’t any of those things. Could AI come up with a grandchild wondering how the scarecrow would sing if it didn’t have a brain? Nope. A fully formed 5 1/2 year old human (who happens to be my granddaughter) came up with that.
