Thanks for listening. I’m super fond of that weird little thing.

The alarm about DALL-E in the visual art world makes me think about what it must have been like when photography was new and feared to be bad; it was the death of painting, if not art itself. But here we are and art seems to have survived, and “painting” is more popular than ever in the form of digital art.

I am having a lot of fun with AI and doing cool things with it so I say it’s a good thing. I understand the concerns, but in the words of the Firesign Theater, “live it, or live with it“; AI is here to stay. Let’s try to be good humans doing good things with this technology we have created and we should be OK.

Personally, my biggest concern is I don’t want to become annoying by quoting ChatGPT too much (and it’s tempting to quote it all the time!)
