Andrew Huang Responded Pretty Well, I Think
Published 2024-07-07
I'm including a comment by @VyletPony on Andrew's response video that I also think adds a really smart counterpoint to the plagiarism aspect I didn't articulate:
"i think a fundamental aspect i hope you consider is that while we as human creators have always taken inspiration from other people, learned from other people, even implemented other aspects of other peoples works like in sampling and quoting, that's all still organic. there's attribution involved, if someone asks about your process you're able to not only talk about what you did to create something, you can talk about the things that inspired it and show exactly what things you sampled or referenced even. ai is a black box that is so nebulous that you WILL, without a choice in the matter, be lifting someone else's work and you have absolutely no way to even connect with it, attribute it, or consider it on a deeper level at all. this is so different from technological innovations in every corner of the arts industries. i think it's important to be a futurist, but tech like this cannot exist safely without massive restrictions. like even if you humour the counterpoint of "well people steal ideas and trace peoples' stuff all the time anyway", you can identify it, there's accountability for that, and there can be ways to address it. what are you going to do when the stealing is being done by an amorphous neural network?"
Also her music is sick nasty and listen to it, if you even hesitate for a second because it's ponies you are an enormous coward.

thank you for making this video! having an update on the matter is really important because of people like me who don't really follow andrew's work anymore (I did in the past). It's nice to know that they responded well and honestly good for them for acknowledging the issues people have with AI and vouching to not use it in the future (at least in regard to these cards). Also based for the whole capitalism bit and for the clowning Drake bit.
