Khoi and Matt continue their discussion about A.I.
They discuss when they first encountered A.I., and in what capacity. They also talk about the arguments of those who say A.I. democratizes art, and those who say A.I. steals from every artist and writer who’s ever posted, or had their work posted, online. Khoi poses the question, “What do you think about someone who uses A.I. and says, ‘This is my art?’”
They also share how true art consists of everything that made up that artist – their history, upbringing, language, and all the things that made them who they are. And they talk about work as purpose versus work as productivity.
