About this episode
If you've been anywhere on the internet in the past months, you probably noticed the rise in discussions about AI. Whether it's the AI pictures everyone's posted on their Instagram or the increase in the buzz about Chat GPT, AI isn't a topic you can miss. But with the rise of AI comes the rise of concern over the impact it could have for artists and creatives. To talk more about creativity and art, Steve Hoffman is joining us today. Steve is the Chairman & CEO of Founders Space, a global innovation hub for entrepreneurs, corporations, and investors. Hoffman is also a venture investor, founder of three venture-backed and two bootstrapped startups, and author of several award-winning books, including Make Elephants Fly, Surviving a Startup, and The Five Forces. "Art without opinions is just a pretty picture." - Steve Hoffman Steve is confident that AI won't replace artists and creatives. And all those pretty pictures you see? They're just pretty pictures. They aren't art. AI is limited. But what are the limitations of AI? And what sets these "pretty pictures" apart from art? Steve discusses more of these topics: AI can't have opinions, and all art has to come from opinions that allow it to impact people. All AI is biased according to the data it's been fed, and these limits may not be true for the artist. Eventually, if you use AI enough times, everything it creates starts to look and sound the same, and that unique creativity is not something AI will be capable of having. And Steve's advice to artists? Don't dismiss AI. It's a tool you can utilize to create art you haven't been able to create before.
