“The cost here is time,” he said. “Doing everything by hand, creating the structure, taking as few shortcuts as possible, and doing it in a really quick period of time represents a lot of the real cost. In many ways, that’s the cost of art. Good art and intentional art (things that have meaning and craftsmanship) are a function of time.
“Creativity is our birthright, and when someone sells you a shortcut to escape that, that’s crazy to me. In a way, it’s the antithesis of a lot of algorithmically generated bad art. Maybe people will tell us it’s bad art? Who cares! Making and creating is something AI claims it does, but it doesn’t.”
OpenAI, as one of the largest artificial intelligence companies in the world, has been the target of many other protests in recent months and years. Last week, for example, people protested OpenAI at its New York City offices.
On Monday, training for OpenAI’s latest model, GPT-6.1 Astra, was suspended due to security concerns. Also on Monday, the company apologized for accessing Australian government websites “in ways we were not authorized to.” Meanwhile, the state of Florida asked a court to stop the development of OpenAI, calling it an “unacceptably risky product.”
OpenAI did not immediately respond to Ars’ request for comment on Tuesday morning.
