I think the computer told me to can never be a viable excuse when determining responsibility for a poor decision.

A manager can assert they were advised by the computer, but in the end, the human being must be held responsible.

Case in point, Iran Air Flight 655

This is my argument. Eventually, we’ll have computers capable of generating good art that moves its human audience as intended.

And in the meantime, there are artists who utilize generative AI as a tool, who learn to prompt exactly, and then curate the best results from the basilisks, much the way photographers determine what to shoot, and how to manipulate lenses, exposure and lighting in order to get the optimal effect.

Sadly, current LLMs consume a whole lot of resources, way more than the process of human beings doing art. So it’s a long, long road to us getting to where generative AI is actually economic.
