I dunno man … assume a model trained on the complete corpus of arts leading up to the Renaissance. What kind of randomness lands you at Hieronymus Bosch? Would AI be able to come up with Gonzo Journalism or modal music?
A brief glance at the history of human ingenuity in the arts really puts generative AI in perspective.
I think AI in this case is doing exactly what it’s best at: Automating unbelievably boring chores on the basis of past “experiences”. In this case the boring chore was “Draw me [insert character name] just how I know him/her”.
Too many people mistakenly assume generative AI is originative or imaginative. It’s not. It certainly can seem that way because it can transform human ideas and words into a picture that has ideally never before existed and that notion is very powerful. But we have to accept that, until now, human creativity is unique to us, the humans. As far as I can tell, the authors were not trying to prove generative AI is unimaginative, they were showing just how blatant copyright infringement in the context of generative AI is happening. No more, no less.
Yeah try searching for “star trek socialism” on YT or wherever, you’d be surprised.
But apart from the series specifically there is at least some theorizing that space exploration is only possible after capitalism has been abolished since the energy and cooperation alone required to make it work on a meaningful scale is not possible under capitalism. We need the unleashing of productive forces that only communism can provide.
Aaaaaaand of course there are the Posadists. Google them for a good chuckle!

Was schwafeln die da für einen gequirlten Unfug … in Art 56 GG geht es um den Amtseid des Bundespräsidenten. Dunning-Kruger is a bitch. Auch der Rest des Gelabers ist nur Geschwurbel, das man wohlwollend gerade noch als national-libertär bezeichnen könnte. Dieses Herumgeraune “oh alles wird doch immer schlimmer, alles Sozialisten, armes Detuschland” dient doch einzig und allein der gegenseitigen Bestärkung in der eigenen Haltung. Da ist kein Deut ratio dahinter.
Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!
