What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

I dislike the term "slop" because I feel that it inherently denigrates those who are fine with it. It comes off as elitist.

I think the term ‘slop’ is being overused these days, where people will label anything they don’t like as slop. But, when it comes to AI, specifically AI art, I think slop is the perfect description given how it’s a bunch of other people’s art put in a blender. I can’t see it as elitist when it is so accurate.

A Kickstarter page is an ad for a book.

A Kickstarter page is (usually) an ad for something that doesn't exist, and won't until it's been funded and then created-produced-made.

What's the difference between using it in your book as opposed to using it in your ads?

Maybe you need the Kickstarter funding to be able to afford to hire human artists?

It's not. Its freeing humans from art. The labour jobs will all still be done by humans. ChatGPT can't build a house or dig a hole.

Maybe ChatGPT can't build a house but some of the elements for building an AI house already exist:

AI can design a house to prompt, and upload that design
Houses can be (and have already successfully been) 3D-printed

That said, you still need (and will likely always need) humans to do things like wiring, HVAC, door/window installation, and fine finishing.

As for AI digging a hole, I have zero doubt that we'll have self-driving heavy machinery - bulldozers, backhoes, etc. - within a decade. Program it, tell it what to do, then stand back and let 'er rip; and the first two steps of that can be done to prompt by AI. The only human input needed will be someone to oversee the machinery with a handy emergency shutdown button in case things go wrong or something unforeseen occurs.
