A journey linking the "three arts" of the 21st century: let's try to expand the mind and thought at a human speed and depth in this world of "fast food", "fake news" and "brain rot"; the current media trend which, contrary to Montaigne, makes a head well-filled rather than a head well-made! "Brain rot is a term used to describe the perceived negative cognitive and emotional effects of excessive consumption of low-quality or unchallenging online content leading to reduced attention spans, impaired critical thinking, and mental fatigue." The following demonstrates how a ''head well made'' is of paramount importance:
Science is also demonstrating forward thinking. As such, Andras Kovacs, Jussi Lindgren, and Jukka Liukkonen have proposed a way to unify the theories of gravitation and electromagnetism into a unified field theory. Very roughly speaking, light and gravity are four-dimensional waves in space-time, but light is compressed back and forth, and gravity is compressed up and down. Is it one step towards Einstein's dream of a unified field theory accomplished?
A theory like the previous shows a will to push beyond the confines of conventional knowledges. Similarly, as science is attempting its great unification, science fiction dares to push what ifs. With what is not possible to see if what it creates inspires humanity: To write science fiction means to tell a story and a fictional environment. But this also allows for the development of alternative futures or pasts, perhaps even on the other side of a space-time barrier, à la Doctor Who.
British television series Doctor Who "Doomsday," Season 2 Episode 13, July 8, 2006: In this dramatic finale, the Doctor (David Tennant) and Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) are forced to cross the space-time barrier when the Daleks and Cybermen threaten Earth. Doomsday (Doctor Who) - Wikipedia
This same boldness, combining arts and sciences to think in terms of audacious innovation and expansion to create realities in fields, brings French expert Flavien Chervet to push for ''Creative AI''.
French expert Flavien Chervet proposes Creative AI to combine the Arts and Sciences. While this innovative lens has been subject to intense discussion, It remains to be seen to what extend that very type of AI that requires enormous power consumption, with ,caveats - one must not take it as an acclamation. He pushes us beyond the latest AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), towards a future “Super Creative Intelligence” - on the one hand recently presented at an “AI Arts and Sciences” conference in Montreal, on the other hand “Hypercreation: how AI will revolutionize all creative professions” one of the best books on AI. See previous post here.
As a closing remark in that previous blogpost, it can be seen that AI is evolving just like the Internet did - Not as some revolution! We are still dependant of ''human interaction that can then be extended on-line - not the other way around.'' And like machines learn and apply the creativity in that world is one important question one asks "Does imagination not belong to us, however, rather than to machines?!' Now lets explore both the Creative Arts and Super Science-together, where each hhereelps inform and create each other's future together!
