I agree that current models are useful but not... interesting? It’s also telling that these AIs are ok at generating things, but fairly awful at collaborating. What I’m interested in are ways for humans to be the creativity engines and AI to augment those things. I’m never surprised when talking to a chatbot, unless it’s surprise at the things it still fails to do. As a musician, wouldn’t it be cool to come up with things and be able to play around with them without being either subsumed or having to spell things out in great detail? I think (still, after all these years) that without a somatic sense, muscle memory, feelings, many things about the way we operate aren’t “better-able” using AI. Not because humans are special, because biological complexity is special. And everything is connected. When models are about massive training data, a lot of dross creeps in. When companies building AIs are profit-focused in an environment where externalities are ignored, the AIs will reflect their designers’ worldviews.
