The danger of using a phrase like "things we care about" is that we don't all care about the same things. That's important. Because when John Nelson says AI "lacks the contemplation and attention to detail that yield great works of art," my reaction is, "who cares?" I don't depend on AI to produce great works of art. I depend on it to do some things I do care about competently - things like translating text, removing pixelation from images, writing generic API algorithms, keeping a safe distance from the car in front of me. I care about all of these things much more that I care about creating a great work of art - though I note that AI will also make it much easier for me to produce a great work of art. So AI isn't van Gogh. Who cares? Via Alan Levine.
