I come from a<br \/>\nlong-time background of technology and have been involved in AI since what<br \/>\nseems like forever ago. In the 80s I was writing very simple AI in my computer<br \/>\ngame code to detect collisions in simple games on 8-bit home computers, in the<br \/>\n90s I was doing the same with 16-bit computers. The difference between 8 and 16<br \/>\nbit computing power was compelling, the difference between the AI, not so much.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Today, AI is way too<br \/>\ncomplicated to even contemplate building it from scratch as we did in the 80s<br \/>\nand 90s, instead programmers mainly rely on pre-built engines to do the heavy work,<br \/>\njust as they rely on pre-built engines to create scenery and even video games.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s not that programmers today aren\u2019t as talented as they were, the creations<br \/>\nthey program have become so huge that it\u2019s no longer in the realms of<br \/>\npossibility for a single programmer or even a team to take this kind of work<br \/>\non.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">When the old computers began to<br \/>\nbe replaced with PCs, we didn\u2019t see anything of note on the AI front for most<br \/>\npeople for a very long time. It was more or less an out of reach science and<br \/>\nthe stuff of science fiction for what seemed like an eternity, but things were<br \/>\nhappening behind the scenes. Analysts were analysing, data scientists were<br \/>\ndoing whatever it is they do, and then there were the lab folks, mostly wearing<br \/>\nbig glasses and wild hair, who were tinkering and plotting that the machine<br \/>\nwould one day inherit the earth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">AI in the 80s was basic,<br \/>\nsometimes even written in BASIC (A programming language that remains the<br \/>\nbedrock of coding today, except we stopped teaching it in schools long ago<br \/>\nbecause humans like the awe of oh shiny new, even when it\u2019s not as good as old)<br \/>\nand then about five years ago we began to witness a sort of seismic shift in<br \/>\nhow we thought about AI and how it could benefit those who could access it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Suddenly, the algorithm was<br \/>\nplaced on a plinth for the minions to worship as if it were some kind of God. It<br \/>\nbegan to mature at a faster rate, it was harnessed by big tech, the pandemic<br \/>\nraised its profile in medical research, and we have slaved for it since from our<br \/>\ninteractions on social media to our frustration in getting Alexa to answer us<br \/>\neven after the third attempt. Don\u2019t get me started on all of those chatbots and<br \/>\ntheir endless mind-loops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">AI has become smarter, but it<br \/>\nhasn\u2019t done that on its own. AI relies on humans to code the learning and the<br \/>\noutput. It\u2019s not like a film where AI breeds and then takes over the world,<br \/>\nthere\u2019s very much a need for humans to sit behind the wheel and drive it, or at<br \/>\nleast there is for now. It\u2019s smart for sure, or maybe, clever might be a more<br \/>\nappropriate word, but the humans behind AI are mostly smarter, albeit slower, the<br \/>\nreal problems begin with the end users who want to use it to create their very<br \/>\nown versions of chaos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">I\u2019m not convinced that AI is<br \/>\nthe problem that it is often framed to be, it gets a bad press for sure and<br \/>\nthere are few who truly understand it, it\u2019s technically beyond anything we<br \/>\ncould have imagined in the early days of computers, or anything that we might<br \/>\nhave imagined even just a decade ago.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/span>The problem with AI rests in the hands of humanity and that\u2019s what also<br \/>\nmakes the entire concept of AI in public hands really quite terrifying. <\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjxppUstcQYcl_rj778VCBbHV2toi59TeA__6ZJIzCenuNqBKXH2i2RQe7EAYMB0pfrjlEjGDF1vapIVgwUkhXAzS0fZNAQW5t_9rtj-kwVP6210EtQ-Cnl5Sbnga5qU45TNQ97A9GJO9KXMtdKA0WLvhbeSu7PTQvyO15jZf_RAyABhkn3TsS54QX1\/s4088\/90s%20digital%20camera.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"90s digital camera artwork by Mark Taylor\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"3024\" data-original-width=\"4088\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjxppUstcQYcl_rj778VCBbHV2toi59TeA__6ZJIzCenuNqBKXH2i2RQe7EAYMB0pfrjlEjGDF1vapIVgwUkhXAzS0fZNAQW5t_9rtj-kwVP6210EtQ-Cnl5Sbnga5qU45TNQ97A9GJO9KXMtdKA0WLvhbeSu7PTQvyO15jZf_RAyABhkn3TsS54QX1\/w640-h474\/90s%20digital%20camera.JPG\" title=\"90s Digital Camera by Mark Taylor\" width=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">90s Digital Camera by Mark Taylor &#8211; Hand drawn using a digital medium, this was another technically challenging piece and took around 70-hours to complete.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Machine learning isn\u2019t new. The<br \/>\nconcept of machine learning has been around for several decades, but the modern<br \/>\nera of machine learning began in the 1950s and 1960s when computer scientists<br \/>\nbegan to develop algorithms and models that could learn from data. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Prior to this, and to keep<br \/>\nthings really simple because the world is complicated enough, algorithms were<br \/>\nvery much a manual thing. Humans would build up a library of problem statements<br \/>\nwith a list of viable options and then note the ones that worked. In short, AI<br \/>\nwas a bunch of problems in an almost historical timeline so that you could see<br \/>\nwhat might work and humans then worked it out, often very slowly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The difference between then<br \/>\nand now is that machines can make that comparison much faster and with more<br \/>\naccuracy than humans ever could. You could say that at one time AI was simply<br \/>\ncalled intelligence, but then humans decided to automate it with a computer.<br \/>\nHumans it seems are nowhere near as efficient as computers. Why do all that<br \/>\nmath and cross checking when something about the size of your cell phone can make<br \/>\na better decision far quicker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">One of the earliest examples<br \/>\nof machine learning was the development of the Perceptron algorithm by Frank<br \/>\nRosenblatt in 1957, which was a simple algorithm that could learn to classify<br \/>\nimages based on their features. That\u2019s the kind of AI technology that we now<br \/>\nsee with licence plate and facial recognition in crowds, the difference is that<br \/>\nRosenblatt\u2019s algorithm has been massively scaled and in ways that I\u2019m sure<br \/>\nRosenblatt would never have considered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<\/span>Another important milestone in the history of<br \/>\nmachine learning was the development of decision trees by Arthur Samuel in<br \/>\n1959, which were used to make decisions based on a set of rules learned from<br \/>\ndata. This underpinned AI for many years, but the machines are now programmed<br \/>\nto learn everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Since then, machine learning<br \/>\nhas evolved and expanded rapidly, with breakthroughs in areas such as neural<br \/>\nnetworks, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, which have enabled<br \/>\nmachines to learn more complex and sophisticated patterns in data. Today,<br \/>\nmachine learning is widely used in a range of applications, from image<br \/>\nrecognition and natural language processing to fraud detection, healthcare and<br \/>\npersonalised marketing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">For the most part, it\u2019s<br \/>\ndifficult to comprehend just how much AI already encroaches into our lives<br \/>\nbehind the scenes. It\u2019s something we use but we\u2019re not always aware of it, and<br \/>\nthat is how it\u2019s supposed to be, to provide us with a seamless experience when<br \/>\nwe interact with technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Algorithms and machine<br \/>\nlearning used in artificial intelligence models are used to provide you with a<br \/>\npersonalised music playlist or to surface the next film that you might want to<br \/>\nwatch on Netflix, and AI is extensively used in medical research and healthcare<br \/>\nwhere it has already saved countless lives, and of course it drives those<br \/>\nsocial media algorithms that in turn drive us all crazy. Without it, it<br \/>\nwouldn\u2019t just be humans that would be less efficient, the infrastructure that<br \/>\nessentially drives the world we live in would be too. We might not know it, but<br \/>\nwe have already become addicted to AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">So AI really does play an<br \/>\nimportant role in the fabric of our everyday lives whether we realise we depend<br \/>\non it or not. Now AI has exposed itself to the world on platforms such as<br \/>\nChatGPT and the forthcoming Bard from Google, essentially putting the ability<br \/>\nto drive it, firmly in the hands of everyone, good, bad or indifferent. That\u2019s<br \/>\nwhere it becomes infinitely more useful in our everyday lives, but that\u2019s also<br \/>\nwhere it becomes exponentially more concerning at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjrxO9c-fyMcXfNBDUEfm3LfQrDOEJi9wLr6yuCI0XT8iccKYavZtDSK80LMGBC4FJmte3a8HEIRemNKa5__xkymo0zhGJ06oEXFfGN7Tljh_7Nl0KvJBw-nz-Bg7foJ6ggmc2_crWRFGDfz771-ic04g41lBkWGSDqrwz4yTbDvSrH1rG64BHP9KIt\/s4088\/endless%20path.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"endless path abstract art print by Mark Taylor\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4088\" data-original-width=\"4088\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjrxO9c-fyMcXfNBDUEfm3LfQrDOEJi9wLr6yuCI0XT8iccKYavZtDSK80LMGBC4FJmte3a8HEIRemNKa5__xkymo0zhGJ06oEXFfGN7Tljh_7Nl0KvJBw-nz-Bg7foJ6ggmc2_crWRFGDfz771-ic04g41lBkWGSDqrwz4yTbDvSrH1rG64BHP9KIt\/w640-h640\/endless%20path.JPG\" title=\"Endless Path by Mark Taylor\" width=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Endless Path by Mark Taylor &#8211; another abstract inspired by the iconography of the 80s and 90s.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">If the bad actors decide to<br \/>\ngrasp it with both hands, and they\u2019re already reaching out in droves to do just<br \/>\nthat, then we begin to have major issues in telling the difference between<br \/>\nwhat\u2019s real and what\u2019s not. If we break that down further, what we will see,<br \/>\nand there is very little doubt that we won\u2019t, is that public access to these AI<br \/>\nplatforms will become increasingly weaponised. If we step back and consciously<br \/>\nthink about that for a moment we have already seen this happen through<br \/>\ndemocratic processes, social media and even government and state propaganda, and<br \/>\nwhen machines can do the work of thousands of people to weaponise content, it<br \/>\nbecomes massively more cost effective to fill the internet with bias,<br \/>\nprejudice, and intolerance or just outright lies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The world is already blighted<br \/>\nby scammers but generally, the more elaborate and most successful scams are<br \/>\nexpensive operations to run.

Or, they can now ask an AI platform to spill out copious<br \/>\namounts of copy saying the same thing in many, many different ways to give it a<br \/>\nmore authentic and authoritative feel. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">You don\u2019t necessarily need an<br \/>\narmy of people at this point, just a person, a laptop and some intent.

It\u2019s also<br \/>\nsomething that causes some contention within social media circles, this type of<br \/>\ncontent drives division and engagement and those are the two very things that<br \/>\nalso drive ad-revenue so you really have to ask a very simple question around<br \/>\nwhether or not social media companies really, on a deeper level, want to do<br \/>\nanything over and above what they already do to stop it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Cynical me might suggest that<br \/>\nit would make zero financial sense to counter the negative aspects of AI driven<br \/>\ncontent on social platforms, and there\u2019s little doubt it would be both complex<br \/>\nand expensive, but longer-term, I\u2019m confident that tackling it now would make<br \/>\nfor a more sustainable future. If they don\u2019t begin to tackle it better than<br \/>\nthey are, I\u2019m reasonably confident that the blunt force of regulation might<br \/>\ncome into play and I\u2019m not convinced that\u2019s entirely healthy for any of us either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Whether it\u2019s convenient for<br \/>\nsocial platforms to not accelerate the policing of AI generated content is a<br \/>\nquestion for another day, maybe another blog by another author, but until there<br \/>\nis a mechanism to fund and monetise mainstream social media access more<br \/>\neffectively than ads, and a mechanism of funding that\u2019s adopted by the many,<br \/>\nwell, it does make one wonder if the real issue around the toxicity of social<br \/>\nmedia will ever be reduced whilst the price of entry is free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">We are now at a point in time<br \/>\nwhere it\u2019s increasingly and often impossible to tell the difference between<br \/>\ngood information and bad.

Chat GPT for example will remember<br \/>\nconversations that people have with it, it allows a user to provide follow up<br \/>\ncorrections (as in change the output) and it is trained to decline<br \/>\ninappropriate requests, but from experience it\u2019s how you generally ask what you<br \/>\nask where this particular safety net can live or die. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">ChatGPT specifically calls out<br \/>\nsome of its limitations as in, it may occasionally generate incorrect<br \/>\ninformation, it may occasionally produce harmful or biased content, and it has<br \/>\nlimited knowledge of the world and events after 2021. But AI models are<br \/>\ndesigned to always learn so it\u2019s only a matter of time really as to how quickly<br \/>\nsome of these limitations will be overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Bear in mind, AI is fallible,<br \/>\nit\u2019s also often biased, AI only knows what it knows, and in the case of<br \/>\nChatGPT, barely nothing about life post 2021, and sometimes, well, it kind of really<br \/>\ndoes make things up. Is it sentient you might ask, well I asked that very<br \/>\nquestion of ChatGPT and honestly, I think it lied when it told me it wasn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">But these platforms and<br \/>\nChatGPT more specifically, can be useful as a business tool, equally they can<br \/>\nalso be problematic, so let\u2019s see if we can figure out what it is good for and<br \/>\nmore importantly, will it really help us to sell more art?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Well, here\u2019s the first<br \/>\nelephant in the room that we probably need to look at, can AI produce original<br \/>\nart. The answer cuts far deeper than the question implies. ChatGPT can\u2019t, it\u2019s<br \/>\nonly good for text based output, but there are neural network engines that are<br \/>\ndriven by AI models that are really super-efficient at creating images and<br \/>\nthere are AI models that can create deep fakes, including perfect photographs<br \/>\nof people who don\u2019t actually exist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">While AI-generated art has the<br \/>\npotential to revolutionise the creative industry, there are several ethical,<br \/>\ntechnical, and philosophical issues associated with its use. Here are some of<br \/>\nthe most significant:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 200%; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">One<br \/>\nof the primary issues with AI-generated art is that it raises questions about<br \/>\noriginality and creativity. Critics argue that machines are incapable of true<br \/>\ncreativity because they rely on pre-programmed algorithms and data inputs. As a<br \/>\nresult, some people question whether AI-generated art can ever be considered<br \/>\ntruly original.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Another issue with AI-generated art is that it may perpetuate existing biases<br \/>\nand lack of diversity. Since the algorithms are often trained on historical<br \/>\ndata, they can inadvertently replicate and even amplify existing prejudices and<br \/>\ninequalities. This can result in AI-generated art that is sexist, racist, or<br \/>\ndiscriminatory in other ways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">There is also an ongoing debate about who owns the intellectual property rights<br \/>\nto AI-generated art. Since the art is created by machines, it&#8217;s not always<br \/>\nclear who should be credited as the creator nor is it clear from the output who<br \/>\nowns the copyright but generally it is without any shadow of doubt, using your<br \/>\nart and my art and the art of millions of other artists to do its thing. It\u2019s<br \/>\npossible that if you have ever uploaded a piece of your own artwork to an<br \/>\nonline space that an AI model has already learnt from it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Some<br \/>\ncritics argue that AI-generated art is not really art because it lacks the<br \/>\nhuman touch. They believe that true art requires human emotion, intuition, and<br \/>\nexpression, and that machines can never fully replicate these qualities. The<br \/>\ncounter to that could be that it is using your art and my art and the art of millions<br \/>\nof other artists to do its thing and there are plenty of emotions right there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Finally, there are concerns that AI-generated art could<br \/>\nlead to mass production and replication, which could devalue the art and reduce<br \/>\nits uniqueness and cultural significance. This could lead to a situation where<br \/>\nart is created solely for commercial purposes, rather than for its intrinsic<br \/>\nvalue as a form of creative expression. Flooding a market only ever serves to<br \/>\nwater it down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">As a<br \/>\ncreator of art, as far as AI goes, and as much as I live for technology, I\u2019m<br \/>\nnot a fan. I was never really a fan of the neural network art that was being<br \/>\ngenerated about five or six years ago because very quickly we were seeing<br \/>\npretty much the same art over and over. There were a number of apps that sprung<br \/>\nup on the various App Stores and when lots of people figured that art (can we<br \/>\neven call it that?) could be created with a single click of a pixelated button,<br \/>\nlots of people suddenly thought of themselves as artists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The markets were flooded at<br \/>\nthe time with similar images from the same app and virtually everyone who had<br \/>\nlittle to no previous experience in creating artworks thought that what had<br \/>\nbeen created was somehow unique to them. Many of those apps used very confined<br \/>\nand linear AI models so the results were almost always generated from one of a<br \/>\nsmall number of presets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">But, it really comes down to<br \/>\nthe single bottom line that however AI is presented, it takes our art and does<br \/>\nsomething with it that we don\u2019t particularly want it to do, and at this point,<br \/>\nit could be argued that this will be the time to consider an alternative career<br \/>\noutside of creating art because I\u2019m not even remotely convinced there will be a<br \/>\nway to monetise your work if AI continues to take it off us without permission<br \/>\nor recompense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiM6NJD9s23OQpBtrgDloOorj-DaNgwtmYCsPMPfXPxeWa1_8V-Ml9pDP01Ns3yv3fPzg1ZvrAx6q4DqPbxnc1H8uLVviT81_a9v2H0HKe4aTI1lrRR2CM6kMAa9bNeduzXBO2KvpUvgK5_eh1bWQzpD_U918wk2odZm3akv1daP1tVn0cEZ7rOMx1K\/s4088\/polybius%20redux.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Geometric art print by Mark Taylor\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4088\" data-original-width=\"4088\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiM6NJD9s23OQpBtrgDloOorj-DaNgwtmYCsPMPfXPxeWa1_8V-Ml9pDP01Ns3yv3fPzg1ZvrAx6q4DqPbxnc1H8uLVviT81_a9v2H0HKe4aTI1lrRR2CM6kMAa9bNeduzXBO2KvpUvgK5_eh1bWQzpD_U918wk2odZm3akv1daP1tVn0cEZ7rOMx1K\/w640-h640\/polybius%20redux.JPG\" title=\"Polybius Redux by Mark Taylor\" width=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Polybius Redux by Mark Taylor &#8211; the second work to be inspired by the mythical Polybius arcade game which was said to be released in a video arcade in Orgon sometime in 1982.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">I don\u2019t think that any of us<br \/>\nwill have the option to ever ignore AI and I\u2019m confident that it will become<br \/>\nsignificantly smarter over the next decade.

This kind of art can be unique, especially if<br \/>\nthe artist creates their own algorithms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">But whichever way you cut it,<br \/>\nthere are plenty of unanswered questions that I don\u2019t think we\u2019re even close to<br \/>\nanswering anytime soon. How will we prevent certain populations from being<br \/>\ndiscriminated and marginalised by AI, how can we get AI to take human context<br \/>\ninto account, can we ever get to the point where we are able to teach a machine<br \/>\nempathy, compassion or to be ethical, and maybe one that is often forgotten,<br \/>\nhow we address the balance of access to available data sets?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Just like our art gets taken by<br \/>\nsome AI systems to generate a work, our data which is collected by the tech giants,<br \/>\nbig corporations, governments and advertisers can be used to train these models<br \/>\nand we don\u2019t always have a say whether our data should be used in this way.<br \/>\nEither way, that\u2019s the kind of data that has a real commercial value to those<br \/>\norganisations which puts them at a huge advantage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Another question that seems to<br \/>\nbe challenging the overarching concept of data driven AI modelling is how do we<br \/>\neven begin to control or at least rein in what is seen by many people as an<br \/>\ninvasion of privacy. My fear beyond using the data in AI models is that the<br \/>\nclamber for personal data exponentially increases beyond where we are even<br \/>\ntoday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The huge amounts of what is<br \/>\nessentially surveillance data that links us to people, places, times, and what<br \/>\nwe look at online, is one of modern histories greatest mass surveillance programs<br \/>\nthat largely gets ignored for the most part by the masses, but this could<br \/>\neventually lead us on to a path of social oppression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Before AI takes a more<br \/>\ncomplete stranglehold of our everyday lives then I think we also need to start<br \/>\nanswering some of those really difficult questions, especially as the models<br \/>\nevolve, the systems further develop and we become even more addicted to its perceived<br \/>\nbenefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">I asked ChatGPT a number of<br \/>\nquestions about running a successful art business and the responses could have<br \/>\nappeared on the pages of many of the blogs that like the one I have created<br \/>\nhere, offer hopefully, useful advice to artists on running a business and<br \/>\nraising your profile as an artist. What I came away with though was plenty of<br \/>\ngeneric answers without any real context. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">When I write I like to provide<br \/>\nthe context and back the answers up with the scars of experience of life as an<br \/>\nartist in what has, especially over the past decade become a very complex<br \/>\nindustry. ChatGPT identified some key areas to focus on when I asked it what I<br \/>\nwould need to consider when creating art professionally. It covered quality of<br \/>\nwork, making sure you have business and marketing skills, it also covered<br \/>\npersonal branding and it focussed pretty heavily on making sure that you<br \/>\ndevelop networks and relationships. It made no mention of making sure you were<br \/>\non top of your taxes, and just like the rest of us in the UK, it gave up trying<br \/>\nto figure out post-Brexit import and export paperwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The advice was almost there, it<br \/>\njust felt clinical and made everything sound way easier than it is in real life.<br \/>\nIt offered no real world examples and certainly didn\u2019t proffer any kind of<br \/>\nguidance as to how an artist might take the journey from A to B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">It did suggest that<br \/>\nprofessional artists need to be persistent and resilient, so at least AI sort<br \/>\nof recognises that the art world is a challenge, yet despite this being its<br \/>\nstrongest response, it was still bereft of any practical guidance that would<br \/>\nguide me through some of the challenges that professional artists come across<br \/>\nevery day. That said, it may be the way I asked the question and we\u2019ll come to<br \/>\nthat a little later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">With some answers in the bag I<br \/>\nwas keen to find out more. I asked a question that I thought might be more<br \/>\nrelevant during the current economic climate, how do I produce art more cost<br \/>\neffectively. I thought this was going to make it struggle with a response, but<br \/>\nI have to say that given the rising prices of art supplies I was eager to see<br \/>\nsomething new that I hadn\u2019t already thought of. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The answers were once again,<br \/>\nrelatively generic. Use recycled materials, use alternative surfaces, create<br \/>\nDIY art supplies, and one that I can categorically say without any shadow of<br \/>\ndoubt is no longer cost effective, try digital art. As I mentioned a few weeks<br \/>\nback, the cost of creating digital art has massively increased over the past<br \/>\nyear or so which tells me that it\u2019s responses are at times out of date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">It also suggested that I join<br \/>\nan Art Co-Op, and I\u2019ve mentioned this many times over the years on these very<br \/>\npages.

Surprise, AI didn\u2019t<br \/>\nfind the golden ratio for pricing either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">It suggested I consider the<br \/>\ncost of materials, my time, the size and medium, market demand and competition,<br \/>\nalong with artist reputation and experience. All the stuff we already know but<br \/>\nthen tend to do nothing about, instead we revert to making a price up and spray<br \/>\nand pray the work all over social media. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">The advice here was solid, it<br \/>\nprovided all of the data points you need to find the data on, although still<br \/>\nlacking any real context, but I think that this is a question that every artist<br \/>\nasks in the expectation that someone will confirm that their work is worth a<br \/>\nmillion bucks per square inch. Look, even AI can\u2019t figure this one out on its<br \/>\nown so I think the only remaining option is to do exactly what it tells us to<br \/>\ndo and go figure that bit out for ourselves using the very data points it told<br \/>\nus to explore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Where AI will have an impact<br \/>\nhere is in making sense of all of the data that you collect so that you can<br \/>\nconfidently work out how much to charge, but if you\u2019re after a straight answer,<br \/>\nyou\u2019re not going to find it here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">I had to ask didn\u2019t I? Well,<br \/>\nhere\u2019s the response:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Making one million dollars<br \/>\nfrom creating art can be a challenging task, as it requires a combination of<br \/>\ntalent, dedication, business acumen, and a bit of luck. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Again, the answer was somewhat<br \/>\ndisappointing. My hopes and dreams were doomed once again. A bit of luck seemed<br \/>\na little on the optimistic side but it did suggest that any artist with a goal of<br \/>\nmaking a million from their work might also want to consider diversifying<br \/>\nbeyond creating art.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Wise words indeed but there<br \/>\nwas no real context around what the diversification ought to be. I\u2019m sure it<br \/>\ncould have been pressed further than I pushed it to provide better answers and<br \/>\nagain, I\u2019ll touch on that in a moment. If you are wondering whether it is<br \/>\npossible to make a million dollars from creating art, then yes, it is, but the<br \/>\nprobability of doing that quickly is very unlikely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><b><i><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">How do I sell more art, <\/span><\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">and, <b><i>What<br \/>\nkind of art sells best<\/i><\/b>. The answers were once again fairly generic, but<br \/>\nso was the question in all fairness. I got the usual stock response to, how do<br \/>\nI make more sales, the answers pointed me towards covering social media,<br \/>\ngaining representation from a gallery,<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">\u00a0<br \/>\n<\/span>and to network with other artists, and from experience, these tend to be<br \/>\nthe bare basics that you need to have in place. It failed to mention that<br \/>\nmarket research, business acumen, and an entrepreneurial attitude were perhaps<br \/>\nmore critical than even artistic talent. I\u2019ve said it before, even bad art<br \/>\nsells with great marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">As for what kind of art sells<br \/>\nbest, figurative, landscape, abstract, street art and pop art were the answers,<br \/>\nbut bear in mind that these would be the same answers that anyone could give<br \/>\nafter spending a few minutes looking through online galleries. That\u2019s because<br \/>\nthe answer you will get from this question is all to do with the numbers, there<br \/>\nare simply more artists creating art within these genres so the volume of sales<br \/>\nwill be higher overall. You could say that those subjects are collective best<br \/>\nsellers across an industry, I\u2019ll never be convinced that they\u2019re best sellers<br \/>\nfor an individual artist. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">If ten artists create<br \/>\nlandscapes and sell a hundred works between them, the overall numbers look good<br \/>\nfor those who sold more than other artists, but the numbers wouldn\u2019t be as good<br \/>\nas the one artist working in a niche who sells twenty or a hundred works. The<br \/>\nsubjects are popular because there\u2019s a wide choice, not necessarily because<br \/>\nthese genres are financially the best to create. Again, this is why you will<br \/>\nalways need experience working alongside AI. <\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiqPWuWI1RuJML1SpMIfFk0rxPHH1eIpj6vzg4TXLm5xzoMLOBhqmh3nvqeOllHQfMfIn2KDDly5mlDDV5GRgqd9OzaMtjd5mg8i-2eNY4uONqn9GQSD0yAQrt6wPIGmGYe3Mo7z5FlkWniF9tFCtdd5VrTGKLXXufqrgZvxkKP3GV4rVK6ofGzspcR\/s4088\/video%202000.JPEG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"video 2000 artwork by Mark Taylor\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4088\" data-original-width=\"4088\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiqPWuWI1RuJML1SpMIfFk0rxPHH1eIpj6vzg4TXLm5xzoMLOBhqmh3nvqeOllHQfMfIn2KDDly5mlDDV5GRgqd9OzaMtjd5mg8i-2eNY4uONqn9GQSD0yAQrt6wPIGmGYe3Mo7z5FlkWniF9tFCtdd5VrTGKLXXufqrgZvxkKP3GV4rVK6ofGzspcR\/w640-h640\/video%202000.JPEG\" title=\"Video 2000 by Mark Taylor\" width=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Video 2000 by Mark Taylor &#8211; this VCR was released in the UK and Europe but it didn&#8217;t set the world alight.

What<br \/>\nmakes it incapable isn\u2019t necessarily the technology, it\u2019s that to get anything<br \/>\nuseful out of it the user has to be just as capable in framing their requests.<br \/>\nThe user also has to be very specific in what they want from it, more than<br \/>\nthat, you have to be very, very, very, specific and you might need to reframe<br \/>\nany follow up questions to push it even further so that you get better and<br \/>\nsometimes more credible answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Can a tool such as ChatGPT<br \/>\nwrite an article for a website like this, yes, but it\u2019s not as entirely as<br \/>\nclear cut as that. I personally wouldn\u2019t rely on it as an automated tool to<br \/>\nprovide me with the kind of words I spend hours pouring over every time I<br \/>\npublish a new article, simply because readers who read what I write visit this<br \/>\nsite to read what <b>\u201cI\u201d<\/b> write.

For it to do that you would need to take the output and then break it<br \/>\ndown even further by asking a series of further questions and then, you might<br \/>\nbe somewhere a little closer to something that\u2019s a better read but it\u2019s worth<br \/>\nremembering that AI will never be you, well at least not just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">As it is, without spending<br \/>\njust as many hours on refining the output as you would to write an article in<br \/>\nthe first place, this kind of more generalised, publicly accessible AI is too<br \/>\ngeneral and much too vague in its responses to give you something that you can completely<br \/>\nrely on to give you something that is close to being print ready. You have to<br \/>\nbe careful not to rely on it to provide you with facts, some of the output will<br \/>\nbe out of date, and it can generate responses that while factual, can be<br \/>\nmisleading without any accompanying context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">As a tool, AI in a ChatGPT<br \/>\nsense shouldn\u2019t be feared, as long as it is used responsibly. It can be really<br \/>\nbeneficial in saving you a heap of time if you spend a little time figuring out<br \/>\nhow to work with it. You have to look at it as a slightly smarter version of<br \/>\nthe virtual assistant that you might use to turn up your heating, ask for a<br \/>\nweather report or turn on the lights, but give it time to mature and I\u2019m<br \/>\nconfident that these platforms will become increasingly more complex, and<br \/>\nincreasingly more simple to use. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">AI more broadly beyond the kind<br \/>\nif AI as found within platforms such as ChatGPT is much more refined because it<br \/>\nis developed with one very specific output in mind. If it\u2019s used for scanning<br \/>\nmedical data then the models used to provide the machine learning are going to<br \/>\nbe much more specific and detailed than the more general learning that\u2019s been<br \/>\napplied to bring you something like ChatGPT. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">That\u2019s not intended to be<br \/>\ndetrimental to ChatGPT, it\u2019s models are without doubt complex, but it\u2019s models<br \/>\nare also far too broad and wide reaching to be as perfect as some of the more<br \/>\nspecialist AI systems are. It needs much more time and development to mature<br \/>\nbut it is being rapidly developed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">That said, tools such as<br \/>\nChatGPT can indeed help you to be more efficient and there\u2019s little doubt that<br \/>\nthese tools can take some of the pain away from carrying out the mundane tasks<br \/>\nthat we all have to perform as artists. I asked it to come up with some artwork<br \/>\ntitles by providing an in-depth description of the art, as in, I explained it<br \/>\nin a way that I would explain it to a blind person and the titles were much<br \/>\nbetter than anything I could usually come up with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">I also had success in asking<br \/>\nit for a list of metadata labels that could be used to search for the work and<br \/>\nagain, with a little effort on my part it was able to generate a decent list of<br \/>\ntags and labels that could accompany my uploads to sites such as Fine Art<br \/>\nAmerica. They still needed a little human input but I think I saved about an<br \/>\nhours work from using ChatGPT and that\u2019s not to be sniffed at. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">I also had some success in<br \/>\ntaking the same description and then asking it to generate a marketing<br \/>\ndescription that was SEO friendly, and again, it took just a little refining<br \/>\nand I had saved at least another hours work. That\u2019s considerable when you find yourself<br \/>\nplaying catch up and uploading multiple works, the time involved in coming up<br \/>\nwith meta-tag labels, titles and descriptions isn\u2019t insignificant. I spend at<br \/>\nleast 8-12 hours each work just coming up with words when I have multiple works<br \/>\nto upload. With ChatGPT I saved at least half of this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Where I found real time gains<br \/>\nwas in asking it to synthesise data. I used it to generate a simple report<br \/>\naround my client demographics, historic sales, and success from social media<br \/>\nactivity alongside a bunch of other metrics I use to keep track of where my<br \/>\nbusiness needs to be and it generated a really simple report with key<br \/>\nhighlights just from parsing the data I had copied and pasted in. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Usually I would use a platform<br \/>\nsuch as PowerBI to create reports, add the data to a data lake and hope for the<br \/>\nbest, (I\u2019m not a power, PowerBI user by any stretch) but this meant that I<br \/>\ndidn\u2019t have to fiddle around creating new report templates and I got the key<br \/>\ninformation back within minutes so that I could run side by side comparisons<br \/>\nwith previous quarters.<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhZ-ZKWWgEwd6V67sy7F3lF3RU-z28Csv7k0wBF_j3i3szLpkcFe6ezsMn0B638IqV3TufR3yXXOFTkxhbQVG-wgh7exs1RUUHQvZxeScm0LNfvOp1tMLaeYcFhXHGHaM-kH9umFyuqZUdDjiYFH9mf9FRvZqkkeEXKorqzO68D62iz0zz5XZg0qosi\/s4088\/minidisc.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"minidisc painting art print by Mark Taylor\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"4088\" data-original-width=\"4088\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhZ-ZKWWgEwd6V67sy7F3lF3RU-z28Csv7k0wBF_j3i3szLpkcFe6ezsMn0B638IqV3TufR3yXXOFTkxhbQVG-wgh7exs1RUUHQvZxeScm0LNfvOp1tMLaeYcFhXHGHaM-kH9umFyuqZUdDjiYFH9mf9FRvZqkkeEXKorqzO68D62iz0zz5XZg0qosi\/w640-h640\/minidisc.JPG\" title=\"Minidisc by Mark Taylor\" width=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Minidisc by Mark Taylor &#8211; I still have mine from the 90s, the batteries were still working after almost a decade when I eventually turned it on, they hadn&#8217;t even leaked which was a miracle!<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">There was a monetary saving<br \/>\nhere, the results were better than I could get from PowerBI and PowerBI is an<br \/>\nexpense I can do without, although I expect that wouldn\u2019t be the case if my<br \/>\ndata lake was more substantial, if it were though, I might be inclined to still<br \/>\nuse AI in my workflow and I\u2019m sure it will be integrated more with tools such<br \/>\nas Power BI in the future.

Think<br \/>\nof AI as a new apprentice, an apprentice that still needs some hand-holding but<br \/>\nthat can be sent off to do the jobs that don\u2019t necessarily need to be<br \/>\nundertaken by the CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiQCEYRwSnXH0wYHczNeUijCsdrVgEEQ6GuoODCHrpflJyS82sS0OjFslbJ9W7zKuVgbDvFLQnMXllI5bHRwJZ71pDf7xb33DUjTjtUQEVVv4ccXWEW0nlkMcUrXizPm07JmOAGoyptcCKC2rwIhdx8uFvgqNDAUp3y13gj5RURX5NyNOIobcBWu4gg\/s4088\/y2k38.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Y2K38 artwork by Mark Taylor\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"3024\" data-original-width=\"4088\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiQCEYRwSnXH0wYHczNeUijCsdrVgEEQ6GuoODCHrpflJyS82sS0OjFslbJ9W7zKuVgbDvFLQnMXllI5bHRwJZ71pDf7xb33DUjTjtUQEVVv4ccXWEW0nlkMcUrXizPm07JmOAGoyptcCKC2rwIhdx8uFvgqNDAUp3y13gj5RURX5NyNOIobcBWu4gg\/w640-h474\/y2k38.JPG\" title=\"Y2K2038 by Mark Taylor\" width=\"640\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">Y2K2038 by Mark Taylor &#8211; yes, we&#8217;re due another Y2K event in 2038. Don&#8217;t worry, I made a bespoke sticker which you can buy alongside this print on my Pixels and Fine Art America store so you can place it proudly on the lid of your laptop and freak other people out!<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">When it comes to integrating<br \/>\nAI in your workflow as an artist, it can be useful, even ChatGPT can save you<br \/>\nboth time and money, more than that, it can take some of the mundane tedium out<br \/>\nof your workflow, at least to some extent, but, if you are thinking that AI is<br \/>\nsome golden panacea that will allow you to completely take a back seat and<br \/>\nrelax on a beach while it does all of the work, that\u2019s still very much in the<br \/>\nrealms of fantasy. At least it is for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">To get the most out of it<br \/>\ntoday, you have to understand its limitations. You also have to take some of<br \/>\nits responses with a very large pinch of salt and be prepared to take<br \/>\ncorrective action. Like a small child near a swimming pool, I\u2019m not entirely<br \/>\nsure it\u2019s wise to leave it unattended and then rely on it to do the sensible<br \/>\nthing, or indeed, rely on it always giving you a sensible answer. It\u2019s as good<br \/>\nas the programmers who wrote the code and it\u2019s as good as the knowledge base it<br \/>\nhas learnt from, but it\u2019s not HAL folks, not quite yet anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">You need to give it very good,<br \/>\nspecific, and direct inputs to get very good, specific and direct results. It\u2019s<br \/>\nthat old adage, rubbish in, garbage out, and it takes practice. If you are<br \/>\nthinking that in the next five minutes you will be relaxing with a glass of<br \/>\nPinot Grigio while it does its thing, I would advise that you don\u2019t drink the<br \/>\nentire bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">AI delivered in the guise of<br \/>\nsomething like ChatGPT, in the publics hands is five, maybe even ten years away<br \/>\nfrom where it needs to be to do the kind of things that you imagine it will do<br \/>\nalready. But if you set your expectations somewhere in the region of it being a<br \/>\nreally useful tool that has the potential to save you anywhere between a<br \/>\nminiscule and a heap of time, particularly if you need to build some<br \/>\nfoundations which can help you overcome that initial creative block when you\u2019re<br \/>\nwriting or researching, then I think it might already be where it needs to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Should you shy away from it or<br \/>\nembrace it, well, I don\u2019t think we will ever be in a position to hide away from<br \/>\nit. My advice is to embrace it for the benefits that it can bring and take some<br \/>\ntime to understand its limitations. Learn to work with it, and watch it grow,<br \/>\nbecause at some point in the future you will be relying on it even more than<br \/>\nyou didn\u2019t realise you already do!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 200%;\">Mark is an artist who<br \/>\nspecialises in retro and vintage inspired works featuring technology and other popular<br \/>\nculture from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
