As opposed to what? EM is the science we know. I do not know of human ability to detect other realms. For example subspace communication is an FTL system that exists in Star Trek and other franchises. It is theoretical at best.

Anything that is outside your house is theoretical. Until you go there, then it gets real. Also, humans don't know everything... 8-}

We are alone. This is our private server.

I have sometimes heard new game players say that, then I ask a few questions and it becomes clear that they are on a company server. But the game is so large that they have just not met any other players yet. Can be unfortunate if it is a PVP server... 8-}

Video runs between 30 to 60 words per minute. Even if it is accelerated it is only about twice that. It goes by the speed people can hear.

Reading goes by the speed people can see, which can be much faster. Forget the old saying that 30 fps is max, that is wrong. Tests show that the human eye, in good lighting, can see text projected for only 1/10000 of a second. With a little practice, people can read hundreds of words per minute. I, myself, was tested at 1500 words per minute with 80% comprehension, although I slow down a bit for technical stuff.

Being stuck with videos is like being stuck with an old telephone modem, you know the ones that made a terrible sound... 8-)

Why not go full luddite and require art to be created the way it was 100 years ago? ...

Because this type of action is normal when a "sudden" change occurs. There is a time delay and then a "reaction" shows up, but too much. Then a reaction to that shows up and it continues until the swings damp out. Lots of things in a civilization seem to work that way...

Comment Re:How does one distinguish AI art from non-AI art (Score 1) 45

It is accepted practice to hire people to prepair canvas (or what is used) and paint backgrounds, and has been since the Middle Ages. So maybe having an AI do that is acceptable?

Don't assume the AI is perfect, at least some people can tell the difference. And it seems like some "creators" are intentionally putting in mistakes.

Just because something is on a computer does not make iot perfect, I make my living fixing such stuff...

Anything created with aesthetics in mind is art, even if it's shit. ...

Not really. Art is a form of communication and if it fails to communicate anything, then it fails as art. Even if the creator claims it is art.

And the current chat AI is more like a copy machine, although it is not totally impossible that it might make art someday.

By the way, the proper designation is "Artificial Stupid" (AS), sometimes written as "Artificial Stupid System" 8-)

We do not have any deterministic mechanisms. We try to make electronic computers as deterministic as we can, because they usually crash immediatly if not. But the slightest influence from random occurrances can cause random behaviour. In fact, many programs, including the current chat AI, have gone to great lengths to inject a small amount of randomnes for "creativity".

So most of the arguments, here, particularly the ones assuming a True/False answer, are purest male bovine solid waste. 8-)

And, if all of the hopes for AI / Slaves come true, you would still not want one driving your car.
