Is A.I. the Death of I.P.?
Generative A.I. is the latest in a long line of innovations to put pressure on our already dysfunctional #copyright #system.
People loved the A.I.-generated version of #JohnnyCash singing a #TaylorSwift #song, which was posted online last year by a person in Texas named Dustin Ballard. But who owns it? Could Taylor Swift sue? Probably not, since itâs a cover. Does the Cash estate have an ownership claim? Not necessarily, since you canât copyright a style or a voice. Dustin Ballard? He neither composed nor performed the song. No one? Does it belong to all the world?

A quotation from Hazlitt, William
It is erroneous to tie down individual genius to ideal models. Each person should do that, not which is best in itself, even supposing this coudl be known, but that which he can do best, which he will find out if left to himself. Spenser could not have written Paradise Lost, nor Milton the Faerie Queene. Those who aim at faultless regularity will only produce mediocrity, and no one ever approaches perfection except by stealth, and unknown to themselves.
William Hazlitt (1778-1830) English writer
âThoughts on Tasteâ, Edinburgh Magazine (1819-07)

Les monarques poulets comprendront-ils un jour que leurs lois de basse court ne peuvent s'appliquer aux aigles ?
Ami, je t'en conjure, rappel toi qui tu es et déploie tes ailes !

Will the chicken monarchs one day understand that their short-sighted laws do not apply to eagles?
Ami, I implore you, remember who you are and spread your wings!Will the chicken monarchs one day understand that their short-sighted laws do not apply to eagles?

I hope you will have a wonderful year, that youâll dream dangerously and outrageously, that youâll make something that didnât exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.
Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British fabulist

Still Life with Two Dead Peacocks and a Girl
by Diane Seuss
She comes out of the dark seeking pie, but instead ïŹnds two dead peacocks.
One is strung up by its feet. The other lies on its side in a pool
of its own blood. The girl is burdened with curly bangs. A too-small cap.
She wanted pie, not these beautiful birds. Not a small, dusky apple
from a basket of dusky apples. Reach in. Choose a dusky apple.
She sleepwalked to this window, her body led by its hunger for pie.
Instead, this dead beauty, gratuitous. Scalloped green feathers. Gold breast.
Iridescent-eyed plumage, supine on the table. Two gaudy crowns.
She rests her elbows on the stone windowsill. Why not pluck a feather?
Why lean against the gold house of the rich and stare at the birdâs dead eye?
The girl must pull the heavy bird into the night and run off with it.
Build a ïŹre on the riverbank. Tear away the beautiful feathers.
Suck scorched, tough, dark meat off of hollow bones. Look at her, ready to reach.
Sheâd hoped for pie. Meringue beaded gold. Art, useless as tits on a boar.

The story: https://lithub.com/how-diane-seuss-wrote-the-poem-that-matters-most-to-her/
If artists dare to offer the limits of their deepest captures to the unlimited potential of reality... If the hero advances guided solely by the compass of his heart towards his nemesis...
The dreamer does the same: what they all have in common is that they are a bridge, a limited link between two infinities: that of the most irrational psychic depths and the rawest matter.

A quotation from Bradbury, Ray
We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled.
The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

" new ideas, in a world where the man of the hour reigns supreme, are often seen as heresy, blasphemy, madness or, in lesser cases, originality. They are often like flowers growing on the slurry of crass obscurantism. "

GPT-4 scored in the top 1% (relative to humans) on a creativity test.
"Dr. Erik Guzik, an assistant clinical professor in UM's College of Business, and his partners used the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, a well-known tool used for decades to assess human creativity."
"The researchers submitted eight responses generated by ChatGPT, the application powered by the GPT-4 artificial intelligence engine. They also submitted answers from a control group of 24 UM students taking Guzik's entrepreneurship and personal finance classes. These scores were compared with 2,700 college students nationally who took the TTCT in 2016. All submissions were scored by Scholastic Testing Service, which didn't know AI was involved."
"The results placed ChatGPT in elite company for creativity. The AI application was in the top percentile for fluency -- the ability to generate a large volume of ideas -- and for originality -- the ability to come up with new ideas. The AI slipped a bit -- to the 97th percentile -- for flexibility, the ability to generate different types and categories of ideas."
The Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking is a basically a test of "divergent" thinking. Normally when you take a test, it's a "convergent" test, meaning there's a specific, correct answer that students are expected to "converge" on. If the question is, what's 2 + 2, everyone is supposed to converge on 4. With a "divergent thinking" test, there's no "correct" answer and the more "divergent" the answer(s) given, the better.
In the case of the TTCT, there's a series of tasks, classified as "verbal tasks using verbal stimuli", "verbal tasks using non-verbal stimuli", and "non-verbal tasks". In the "verbal tasks using verbal stimuli" category are such tasks as "unusual uses" (name all the uses you can think of for tin cans and books), "impossibilities" (list as many impossible things as you can), "consequences" (list out consequences to improbable situations), "just suppose" (list out consequences after a new or unknown variable is injected into a situation), "situations" (given problems, think of as many solutions as possible), "common problems" (given situations, think of as many problems as possible that could arise in those situations), "improvement" (given common objects, list as many ways as you can to improve each object), "the Mother Hubbard problem" (Mother Hubbard has 12 children and each child needs ...), "imaginative stories" (write the most interesting and exciting story you can think of at this exact moment), and "cow jumping" (think of all possible things which might have happened when the cow jumped over the moon).
In the "verbal tasks using nonverbal stimuli" category, we have such tasks as "ask and guess" (ask as many questions as you can about a picture which cannot be answered by looking at the picture), "product improvement" (given a toy, think of as many improvements as you can which would make it more fun), and "unusual uses" (think of the most unusual uses of a toy, other than as a toy".
In the "non-verbal tasks" category we have such tasks as "incomplete figures" (add lines to a figure), "picture construction" (given a simple shape, construct a picture of which that shape is an integral part), "circles and squares" (given a page full of circles, make objects that have circles as a major part of them, then given a page full of squares, do the same thing), "creative design" (given circles, strips, scissors, and glue, construct creative designs -- somehow I doubt GPT-4 was given this one).
The submissions are scored for fluency (total number of responses with responses deemed uninterpretable, meaningless, or irrelevant thrown out), flexibility (the number of different categories of relevant responses), originality (the statistical rarity of the responses), and elaboration (the amount of detail in the responses).
"Guzik said the TTCT is protected proprietary material, so ChatGPT couldn't 'cheat' by accessing information about the test on the internet or in a public database."
"Guzik said he asked ChatGPT what it would indicate if it performed well on the TTCT." "ChatGPT told us we may not fully understand human creativity, which I believe is correct. It also suggested we may need more sophisticated assessment tools that can differentiate between human and AI-generated ideas."

We create a lot of hell for ourselves when, instead of finding creative solutions, we insist on cursing creation. However, a curiosity of language shows us that if we invert the letters of the word Evil, we will see the dawn of the Live.
