    would consider text a form of art. literature.

    If you can make a compelling thing to read in a couple sentences, that’s great.

    If you use it as a prompt to write a book, then I rather read the original 2 sentences than waste time with a book that can be summarized in 2 sentences.

      Yes, poetry can be art too, but that’s because the use of the words creates meaningful associations to something that expresses more than the words themselves describe.

      AI reads the prompt the same way that we read poetry and then delivers its attempts to describe the associations that it learned. At best, AI could recreate the role of a really obnoxious poetry critic, but it will never be the artist.

        Yeah, LLMs cannot learn and that is fundamental to their base algorithms of diffusion and backpropagation. Instead, they can only be trained to asymptotically approach human communication thru the use of latent space, a method of algorithmically abstracting concepts.

        They can only ever combine concepts they have been trained on, but cannot continue to build upon those compositions like actual artists do.
