By David Berreby| Substack@ A couple of videos circulating last week showed robots and humans looking like they were about to throw down. They weren’t. But as humanoid makers all over the world ramp up production (and as several make splashy announcements that they are aiming to put their products in homes, and not just factories), these scenes are, I think, a glimpse of the future. Most compatible with people’s preconceptions is this video, taken February 9 at the Spring Festival Gala in Tianjin, China.
By David Berreby| Substack@ Last fall, I gave a talk in which I mentioned generative AI’s homogenizing effect on creative expression. These systems create their answers by analyzing patterns in what has already been written, or said, or imaged. So of course their writing and image-making isn’t tops for spark and originality. (That’s why, I think, some studies report that AI helps average performers at work more than it helps the stars.)I said this was unquestionably bad for creative people.
