This is the new CEO of Applications at OpenAI writing about creativity. IMO this is a gross misunderstanding of what it means to be creative. The fact that our skill sets limit our ability to express our creativity is not some problem to be solved. Creativity *is* your skill set. It is the result of learning, it is expertise acquired by doing. Prompting a model is not creativity - it is a commission. There is a world of difference. openai.com/index/ai-as-the-g…

Along with 1,000 musicians, today we're releasing an (almost) silent album protesting the UK government's plan to upend copyright law to benefit AI companies. It's an album of recordings of empty studios & performance spaces, representing the effect the govt's plans would have on musicians' livelihoods. It's called 'Is This What We Want?', and the track list spells out a simple message: "The British Government Must Not Legalise Music Theft To Benefit AI Companies". Incredibly grateful to the many, many musicians involved 🙌 All profits are going to @HelpMusicians. Please listen & share! open.spotify.com/album/1yUbR… (More links in 🧵⬇️)
