It’s going to be like so many commercial products before industrialization/automation, but instead of all blue jeans after some date being of much poorer quality or all cast iron pans after WWII having a cheap, freshly cast ummachined surface, it’s ALL ART BEING POTENTIALLY ENTIRELY VOID OF HUMANITY

I feel like we’re going to see a surge self-referential, behind-the-scenes, fourth wall breaking, and process oriented art. Art that definitionally could not have been made by AI, and where that fact is a huge part of its appeal. But all art prior to now will have this property intrinsically.

How many books are currently published that are largely written by an LLM? How many this time next year, or in five years? More to the point, if you’re a new author, how do you convince people you’re NOT using AI to churn out slop? How do you differentiate yourself in that crowded market?

Something I have been thinking a lot about is how “AI” is potentially, just by existing, poisoning every artifact of culture moving forward. I wonder if we will look back on this inflection point and hold art made before this moment in higher esteem because it is necessarily human.
