Reminds me of Isaac Asimov’s best short story ever.
Thank you for this, this was a really interesting read
…it’s gone. Was it short enough to recite in a comment?
Works for me. Here’s an Internet Archive version: https://archive.org/details/Science_Fiction_Quarterly_New_Series_v04n05_1956-11_slpn/page/n5/mode/2up?view=theater
Wooo friend was that a good read!
To others who may be intimidated by the number of pages; regain composure, as only 17 of those pages belong to this specific story
“Can entropy be reversed?”
Maybe.
Wow I’ve never read that, I love the ending!
Factoid time: This is the idea behind AI singularity. Have AI write progressively better AI
We’re living in the brief time while they still need us to create them.
There’s no reason to assume they can actually make something better. They’re efficient but that’s all they’re good at.
True, but if you had asked me a few years ago if AI would be making complex art, I would have laughed, so I’m hesitant to underestimate it.
I think that’s open to interpretation. The art craze was entirely self validated, with some heavy hitters determined to see that AI art never lives past 3. Not literally of course. Furthermore, its not yet publicly know what the training data consists of. I think it will prove AI art is merely a glorified collage machine.
