The AI stuff I have seen (MidJourney) and read (ChatGPT etc) are fundamentally derivative, rather than genuinely creative. Burns was a genius with a unique perspective. The poetry that Jim Al-Khalili generated via his specific request was a good parody - entertaining - but ultimately lacking what one might dare to describe as 'soul'. ChatGPT will drive creativity, not stifle it.
Yes indeed Michael. That's the point. I am slightly reminded of the arrival of the MIDI interface in the music world in the early 1980s which allowed one instrument (or computer) to drive another in quite subtle ways. Some of my musician friends were terrified of it, thinking it would be the end of the live human musician. Others were excited and inspired, and immediately got to grips with using it. The latter group were wiser, of course, and MIDI made it possible for (human creative) musicians to do things they couldn't have dreamed of before. And it's still around! That's a properly engineered standard.
Wow, very interesting. Being sensibly smart and coming up with right answers is an automatic instant job for machines. So what we can do as human beings may be making mistakes which is hard for machines to do;-) If we don't have to strive to come up with already made right answers and are free of that kind of stress, I am curious what is coming out of us!?
Great point Aoki-san. I think it's a much better 'test' to come up with something (at least a little) new than simply repeat again what is already known. Perhaps our education and learning systems were designed in fact for machines (or machine-like humans) and not real creative living contextual imaginative humans after all... :-)
Know how inspires me to creativity and movement! It also reminds me of the satisfaction of exercising know-how that is also in the body, in the muscle memory. For me, it is knowledge of boxing and singing that I will think of. Because that knowledge is really in me in a way that is genuinely rooted and developed by taking small steps, trying, interacting, reflecting, rehearsing and working hard. And to use the principles of Solution focus in everyday life to increase my know-how.
The lack of know-how affects the ability to act. The debate, at least here in Sweden, is very much about who should actually do the job with headlines such as: "Who will do the job when so many people want to go to HR?" "The most important job is what you put in a binder"
I love the connection between know-how and embodiment Annika. This is also something that humans can do which machines can't. The binder thing... Just as machines stopped people from having to do hard risky work, the next phase may well be to lose the drudgery of clerical work too?

I think that is the perfect analogy Mark!
