Exploring the Limits of Artificial Intelligence in the Artistic Domain

Some months ago, nobody was talking about artificial intelligence, but now things are different. Many magazines have designated 2023 as the year of artificial intelligence. Anyway, the challenges we are witnessing today with the introduction of artificial intelligence are not very different from what we saw several years ago with the advent of the Internet and computers, and other devices. Artificial intelligence is being used to perform various tasks that can undoubtedly bring great benefits to different fields. However, this intriguing technology still has limitations when it comes to its capacity. Artificial intelligence still lacks the competence that some human beings possess to understand and reflect the meaning and cultural context of their creations or productions. Humans can think abstractly and find innovative solutions that go beyond the limits of available data.

The Limits of Artificial Intelligence

This was part of my presentation at the 24th Annual Convention of the Media Ecology Association which took place at Fordham University, in New York City.

An AI language model can assist in the artistic field in several ways. Here are some things an AI model can do (OpenAI, 2023):

  1. Generate poetry and song lyrics: AI can compose poems in different styles and themes, as well as assist in writing song lyrics.
  2. Aid in creative writing: AI can provide ideas, suggestions, and help develop plots, characters, and dialogues for plays, novels, short stories, scripts, and more.
  3. Create visual descriptions: AI can help paint detailed and vivid mental images by describing landscapes, scenes, or any other visual elements.
  4. Design artistic or band names: If you need a creative stage name for yourself or your band, AI can assist in generating original and appealing ideas.
  5. Provide artistic information and knowledge: AI can answer questions related to artists, artistic movements, styles, famous artworks, music, and more.

Context blindness: Digital technology and the next stage of human evolution.

Aquí un fragmento de la conferencia que tuvimos el martes 20 de septiembre con la Dra. Eva Berger.

Eva Berger at the Tecnologico de Monterrey

Eva Berger is a professor of Media Studies at COMAS in Israel. She serves as Secretary of the Institute of General Semantics. She is co-author of The Communication Panacea: Pediatrics and General Semantics. She holds a Ph.D. in Media Ecology from New York University. Her latest book, Context blindness: Digital technology and the next stage of human evolution, was published by Peter Lang.

Eva Berger’s lecture – Context blindness: Digital technology and the next stage of human evolution – is based on her new book with the same title. The book’s thesis is that since we have delegated the ability to read context to contextual technologies such as social media, location, and sensors, we have become context blind. And since context blindness—or caetextia in Latin—is one of the most dominant symptoms of autistic behavior, people with autism may be giving us a peek into our human condition soon. Phenomena such as cancel culture, trigger warnings, and safe spaces are early signs. With increasingly frequent floods and fires and unbearably hot summers, the human footprint on our planet should be evident to all, but it is not because we are context blind. We are witnessing evolution in real-time and birthing our successor species. Our great-grandchildren may be a species very distinct from us: Homo caetextus.
