> Art is something that cannot be generated like synthetic text

10 years ago: "real real text cannot be generated like stock phrases, so writing will be nearly forever powered by human writers."

I think "text" is irrelevant, the distinction is between art and the synthetic, where art might be written or visual. It's a vague term that's often used to mean "graphics", confusing matters, and the meaning of art is endlessly debated, like the meaning of intelligence.

Obviously we have synthetic graphics (like synthetic text). So something else must be meant by "art" here.

Now: "you can block that AI slop with uBlock, switch to Firefox if you haven't"

  • If you could, I imagine universities wouldn't be so worried about students using chat gpt to cheat.
