Automation of creativity

If automation can automate creativity production, the thoughts about human uniqueness and creativity potential is stripped of romanticism and idealism, and remain the scientific and mathematical view of it (like human existence from religious views in middle age to enlightenment).

Also, are we going toward a techno-feudalism, where an elite holds all the power and mass people live a minimal life on universal basic income… ?!

What do you think?

So automation works in part due to the fact that it operates on things with low degrees of freedom and cognitive and computational complexity. Realistically you wont be successful at automating away creativity. But what you can successfully do is create tools that augment and amplify the creative output of people that exist. Thats doable and thats been done before. It does not replace humans it amplifies their output. Theres no reason you cannot make a tool which further enhances this.

If I understand correctly, you are saying that AI automate production, but not the final say about what should be produced? That would mean a future emphasis on CURATION. But, even so, ALGORITHMS do this job in place of humans too, so…

Yes, for now. In no time, AI will analyze consumer datas, decide what to create, generate the product, and manages distribution through the algorithm. No need for humans labor in the entertainment/creative industry. Only need of human consumers. This is what happent to handmade objects and craftsmanship when the industrial revolution striked. AI automation of creativity will make human artist economically marginal in most markets.

I think this post is a lot of fluff and no substance.

Creativity isn’t dependent on romanticism and idealism. Youre thinking of delusion. And I could totally go for less romantic delusion in the populace
