AI absolutely cannot be used for creative brainstorming.

what happens to art if business people had to choose between the suggestions of chatgpt versus the suggestions of experienced developers? which artistic decisions do you think will be taken more seriously by managerial types?

They'll tell you that the arts and humanities aren't practical and then read poetry at funerals and weddings, cry over films and search for meaning in ancient philosophy.
Surviving is one type of practicality, knowing why we bother is another.

screenshot of a tweet that reads as follows:

MARY OLIVER: You do not have to walk on your knees for one hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
ME: What if it loves this [shows phone screen]
MARY OLIVER: That's fine but do not show it to me again

I have had much of the kumbaya aggressively beaten out of me over the past several years but if it’s any comfort whatsoever, I can at least say that every single time I thought nothing good would happen again I was wrong, and I’ve never looked back and thought “so glad I spent my time panicking!”

I’m just saying, I directed a movie for basically no money that debuted in the 90s on rotten tomatoes and got distribution with no stars attached, I did not get a single call and couldn’t even find a rep as a director. This was not the case for any of the male directors I went to AFI with.

Kristen Stewart declares "state of emergency" over gender inequality in film Kristen Stewart declares "state of emergency" over gender inequality in film

She's absolutely right. As a producer with several films in development with female directors, I can say it is an absolute uphill battle to get execs to fund their projects. Great scripts are sitting on shelves while a generation of our most talented women sit idle.

A digital drawing of the Loch Ness Monster swimming with moss growing on its back and seaweed tangled on its flippers. The original 1934 photo is on the left side with a red heart drawn over the monster as several yellow cutout stars decorate the illustration. Word cutouts frame the drawing of Nessie that say “You may not see me anymore, but I still love you”.

Netease just went straight to my folio to copy/paste elements of my personal work to create their official concept art for their Wakanda map.

I tried to get answers for a while but no replies from them so here we are.

Too many outlets are asking if an AI has feelings and not enough outlets are asking if an AI can be charged with murder.
