…i think we will have to create new things they don’t know yet…but they might beat us to the punch there too…anyhoo at least we got a year before they eat us…
You cannot consume your way to skill is so true!! Very nicely put. Can you consume your way to taste? And - followup question - is it then YOUR taste, or did you adapt to the familiar without 'liking' it?
This is the question. Is there anything as original Art, or is all Art morphed and adapted variations of other art we've consumed in life? I think the point about general life experiences adding to the taste that Sylvia made is relevant, though.
Also, can one develop a specific taste without liking it? I am not sure - isn't liking something fundamental to developing taste?
Fantastic point. Can taste be a service while you have your own 'likes'? This is an interesting angle I hadn't thought of. Adds more nuance to my crude definition of taste.
I blame the English language!! 'having good taste' is a different word from 'enjoying the experience of' in Italian (buon gusto vs piacere). That's probably why I opened a new can of worms in the comments haha
This is interesting perspective. I use ChatGPT for research and proofreading my articles. It is a good help in that area. I have never been able to write poetry. So, I tried to be a 'prompt poet'. The poems rhymed but they did not have the same impact as the ones written by humans do. For AI did not have the lived-in experience of a human to imbue the poems with emotional depth.
Absolutely! I think that's a great point. I'd add just the experience of living in shaping taste for a human which is infused through in the poetry. But I wonder if it can be simulated soon....you don't need to have a lived in experience to generate a simulacrum of it by AI. (In the future)
…just a matter of time…but once that time comes will anyone really want that…it all feels so fleeting and tasteless…
Maybe we'll tastefully pick the right AI model and curate those 😅

AI learns, doesn't create. No originality there I think? Please don't prove me wrong XD
Also, I am pretty sure there are plenty of curators who wouldn't necessarily decorate their homes with what they put in a gallery or an exhibition.

Also, why learning multiple languages is a fantastic way to reshape how you see the world. Sapir whorf hypothesis and all that ...
