AND the moped requires 5 million unpaid runners just to turn on, only sort of goes in the direction you asked for 60% of the time, does not fundamentally understand roads and hard turns off bridges 10% of the time. A man with awful doll eyes has convinced the worlds wealthiest men the moped is good

This is the perfect analogy. If you want more people to run, you don’t give them mopeds. If you want more people to make art, you don’t give them image generators. This doesn’t “democratize” anything

I sat with Ted Chiang for lunch at NeurIPS yesterday, and someone working in AI brought up democratizing art-making. It was a candid chat and I know the guy didn't mean much by it—so I was like, hey, can I just say something?—I really hate the word "democratize" being used this way. Just say "automating art-making". It’s more accurate. Ted put it better than me and asked, "Do you say we should democratize marathon running? Why not? If you want more people to run, you don’t give them mopeds." We had an interesting conversation about the impact of word choice and then went to his afternoon talk, which was a full house!
