AI today can easily create pictures that mimic van gogh’s style. but.. can it create a new van gogh?
learning about van gogh’s life made me realize the way we are building super intelligence today is fundamentally limiting
van gogh’s unique style came from his unique journey, which is a result of having a limited experience of this world
it’s the limit of our lifetime that forced every human being to walk a different path, and that’s what created unlimited differences
feeding a super intelligence all the data in the world is exactly what ended up limiting its ability to have a truly unique perspective
and in a way, feeding the same super intelligence to every human being will propagate the same risk to us all, and over time can make us lose the creativity we used to have
perhaps, the most human thing we can do is to go out and experience the world through our own lens, get inspired, and create something truly unique with the gift of a limited life
