Another interesting point to consider is that the creation idea may be better for LLMs than the exploration idea. We could argue that, although the exploration idea explains certain aspects, it is less effective with LLMs. However, I am still uncertain about this. - Ok, here's a potential structure: - Introduce this guy's view and say a lot of nice things about it. It seems that he's going to be focusing more on the algorithmic edge, whereas I want to focus more on the corpus edge. - Here is an advantage of going [[the naturans]] way when it comes to AI art: we get this happy situation where we don't have to posit any sort of an agent, but we still keep all the spontaneity and wildness of a system. - although Cross emphasises participatory art as a way of fleshing out his exploration model we might also make the metaphor more literal (if you catch my meaning) and saying that users are literally exploring [[latent space]] - on this account we might think that an iterative prompter who selects which images to exhibit, is like a photographer exploring a [[strange land]] and then later exhibiting his favourite photos - Maybe Crossy's mapping analogy doesn't work because it can't be like mapping a territory since there are no real relation points, something like that.
