AI Artist

2•thallukrish•2h ago
In Tamil, there is a casual saying 'nee kodu potta avan rodu poduvan'. The meaning is you draw a line and he will make the road. Mainly used to talk about someone who is very capable, someone who can expand and explore and make it big if only you can show him the direction. I feel AI is somewhat like that. You can make it expand your thoughts and ideas. But you need to know the line you are drawing. If your line is not clear, then AI will expand that as well into a six-lane highway leading to nowhere. Because it sounds so good, you will be riding on great highways and not belong anywhere. Then you have to be able to point out and say 'dei road anga illa' (bro, there is no road there). This is the new skill. Your ability to draw lines in the right place, to build the right shape that identifies a problem clearly, the boundary conditions, the constraints, the outcome worth pursuing and you can see AI amplify it into a nice road with houses around. I don't think this is taught anywhere. I see many jargons all around, but it looks more like an artist sitting with his brush and canvas and drawing lines. It is no longer about programming. A lot about data and their shapes. And a lot about knowing the problem, the deeper you know, the better you can draw those lines and make AI see and expand the world you are trying to draw.
