Kids are using AI to write essays and get straight A's. If only 15% of the goals of the ML community become true, an entirely new education system is required asap.

Generative Webdesign
I suspect right now a couple of teams are training generative ML models that are geared towards web design. Soon enough infinite site design variations can be produced with just a few prompts. Will it break the web design trend that all sites look very similar - or make it worse?

What are the effects of Generative Media on Human Psychology?
I want to read a study on the effects of prolonged exposure to ML generated images. Interested in questions such:
- Do people start to question the "realness" of non-generated images?
- Do generated images show up in people's dreams?
- Does the perceived value of images change?
- etc. etc.

The Generative media spam wars have started: "Artists begin selling AI-generated artwork on stock photography websites" - "Shutterstock Is Removing AI-Generated Images"

A great application of Stable Diffusion & co waiting to happen: Remote-Viewing Trainer
A ML image generator which invites people to try to remote view (predict) the next image it's going to generate at random. You can write what you view or draw it and then compare it to what will be generated.

Great interfaces help people grow their skills and not become addicted
People learning about Art history by engaging with ML generative media system is amazing! Opportunity: Great interfaces/UX help users grow & level-up innate skills while using augmentation software - acting like "scaffolding" that minimizes addictions / dependencies over time.

Generative Attention Poverty
When Herbert Simon in 1969 wrote about how "a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention" he foresaw our times. With ML systems starting to pump trillions of generated artifacts into our media ecosystem, what do you think will happen to attention?

A "cultural audit" of Stable Diffusion outputs. - "The outputs shown are from identical prompts, except for a single word specifying the country of origin".

Synthetic Media Politics
How far advanced do you think the secretive generative systems of the intelligence agencies (and other mafia orgs) are into the future? 2y? 6y? 15y? What are its capabilities and goals? Keep that in mind when ever you see or read anything on any screen 🤡

Humane Interfaces
Humanity worked tirelessly for centuries to perfect the shape of tools we use to interact with the world - using all our senses & body. It led to marvelous interfaces, like musical instruments. The prospect of a single "magic" text entry box becoming the main interface is strange

There are thousands of freakishly explicit images on 4chan, generated with Stabel diffusion. - It's easy to imagine how the entire insane xxx industry will be dominated by generative media soon. One more step towards mass wireheading.

I've seen thousands of amazing art works the past few weeks, generated with/by machine learning systems. None of them give me even remotely as much joy as this painting that my 3 year old daughter made for me today ❤️
You know what is far more important than artworks and artifacts? The process of making art and the artists that make it - their presence and our relationship to them.

"The far side single-panel comic by Gary Larson" - "Comedy Comic" Generated by DALL-E2
I believe that "Computational Comedy" is a far more effective benchmark than things like the turing test.
My quote on this topic from the MIT book "Collective Wisdom: Co-Creating Media within Communities, across Disciplines & with Algorithms", chapter on Media co-creation with non-human systems:
"a defining human characteristic. Comedy is very complex, much more complex than, let's say, painting or visual art, and so forth. There's temporality to it, you need to have historical embedding, sometimes, to understand a joke, you need to have cultural understanding, and so forth. It's a beautiful thing."
Here some "The far side" comics created by the human Gary Larson
Ultimately comedy is in the eye of the beholder, which is the beauty and deep magic of it.
