Dear readers,
As proud as we are of our e-book, which combines the creativity of AI with the poetry of Thomas Findeiss, we also want to make some critical remarks about AI generation technologies.
The renowned linguist Noam Chomsky has argued that AI-generated texts are nothing more than high-end plagiarism. In his view, AI is not capable of generating creative thoughts or expressing itself in a way comparable to human intelligence and creativity. We respect Mr. Chomsky's opinion, but we also believe that AI generation technology is still in its infancy and is capable of achieving interesting and innovative results when applied by experienced developers and designers.
Another critical phenomenon associated with AI generation technology is that of deep fakes, in which artificially generated media, particularly videos, are created to depict real people in fake situations. This can pose a serious threat to privacy and trust in the media.
