I just can’t help but feel that all the AI I encounter as a librarian, as a consumer of media, even as a user of AI, is incredibly boring. The images are repetitive, the language is dull. The worst possible essays are being turned in by students who can’t define many of the words they supposedly wrote.
Is the dullness partly as a result of the sameness of the tech industry that created it? I saw a post today about a tech guy who was surprised his five year old kept turning off an AI toy in order to play with it the way she wanted. He didn’t understand why she wouldn’t interact with it.
But she was interacting with it, just not the way he wanted. AI is about sameness and control. Everyone needs to go back and read Harrison Bergeron again.
