Embrace the Mimetic Chameleon — Authenticity Within Generative AI
People often call AI a ‘stochastic parrot’, but I propose a different term: a ‘mimetic chameleon’. The distinction isn’t minor because AI is not merely copying, it’s simulating human creativity, and accomplishing those tasks in a fraction of the time. Like a photograph, AI provides new perspectives, not just a replica. As AI evolves, so will our perceptions of art and AI’s success will lie in expanding our choices, not replacing the real. This ‘mimetic chameleon’ enhances our experiences and augments our creativity, exactly what we want our tools to do for us.
AI and the Future of ‘Mid’ Creativity – An Inevitable Revolution
As we increasingly accept AI’s role in replacing mundane, repetitive tasks involving language and art, it’s the swath of ‘mid’ creativity that finds itself in the crosshairs. From dry business reports to formulaic greeting cards, AI is perfectly positioned to excel in this realm, once filled by human ingenuity. Those believing their unique creative niche shielded them from progress now face their own ‘mid-ness.’ Acceptance is the first step. Winning the future will demand you dance with AI, not battle against it.
It’s the Pictures that Got Small – AI’s Coming Cinematic Revolution.
As the shadow of AI looms large over Hollywood, the prophetic words of Norma Desmond echo eerily – ‘It’s the pictures that got small.’ With AI’s relentless advance into every aspect of filmmaking, are the once unstoppable blockbusters dwindling into insignificance? Are the pictures truly getting smaller, or is it just the way we’re making them that’s changing? In this article I’ll explore the turning tide in cinema, where soon, not just the the studios, but anyone with a powerful enough PC may hold the power to create the next cinematic sensation.
AI Unleashes Abundance – The End of Digital Scarcity
Why do we need to “own” an NFT for a digital thing once you can generate thousands of alternate images that are entirely personal and unique? Why do we need to create artificial scarcity when AI gives us the ability to create as much as we need whenever we need it? Why would we want to keep pretending that we have less when we can suddenly make so much more?
The AI revolution of the last year may not have changed everything (yet) but it has certainly allowed us to shed the assumption that the future was going to feature a blockchain economy — whether you liked it or not.
Navigating the AI Threat in Search: The Advent of Intellectual Deepfakes
As AI-generated summaries become the default search results, the intellectual deepfake becomes *the* authoritative result, making AI regulation a necessity. It’s not just about the potential for AI to err; it’s about AI being presented as an infallible source of truth. But the real threat isn’t rogue AI, it’s corporations delivering information through an invisible filter of biases and reducing user access to primary content. This represents a shift from technological progress to a play for control, where corporations endorse regulations that champion an “accepted truth,” ultimately stifling competition and opinion.
