My band is playing tomorrow night. Live music. No AI autotuned BS. Just real life men banging their fists on blocks of stringed wood. It’s nuts!

Thank you for your retention in this mattet.
It’s literally not alive. It doesn’t have thoughts on its own. It doesn’t have hormones or anxiety or get depressed or feel joy.
It isn’t alive. If you aren’t alive then you can’t, by definition be an artist.
But AI does think. This is the point that people miss. These really are thinking machines. However weird that sounds. They aren’t just “copying” from the trained data. They are taking the prompt and actually thinking about what to write or draw based on a combination of the prompt and what it’s learned from its training.
Then the AI is, believe it or not, spitting out something new. This true of text, images or now video.
For those who think “It can’t be new! It can only regurgitate what it’s trained on!”, that notion is simply wrong. They don’t seem to fundamentally understand what this tech is. It is making new stuff. Maybe not “good” new stuff. But it is quite literally making things that have never been seen or read. Even if it all sucks.
How can this be? Isn’t there a limit to how pixels or words can be rearranged? Yes. That limit is larger than all the stars in the universe. Think of chess. With that small about of data (chess pieces) and rules (squares) there are billions of possible chess moves. With words and pixels that number is likely trillions.
So the possibilities of what we can do with AI is functionally limitless.
Limitless. As in zero limits. Less limits than a pencil or a paint brush or a camera. More possibilities than we will dream of in a lifetime.
Possibilities. Possibilities that may never be realized. Although there is one thing it can’t do and may never be able to do. Feel. Only humans and animals can do that.
So what’s my point? This. If you know how limitless our brains are and how deep our feelings are as humans. And you combine that with machines that can limitlessly execute the ideas of our brains, then I’d say it’s pretty short sighted to assume no one will find a way to create work that is new, different, and amazing with AI. In ways we can’t yet imagine.
I could be wrong. But I know this. If you assume AI will kill human creativity that means you underestimate humans. Not AI.
Exploring the future of creativity — so we can do our…thingy.
At Roam, we push boundaries so ideas can roam free. This project, crafted by our talented director/editor @mrbarnbarn , blends cutting-edge AI technology with human vision to create something truly original. We’re not just editing — we’re reimagining what’s possible.
