How Much Is Too Much AI?

How Much Is Too Much AI

I often thought about how nice it would be if I could think of something and have it written down in whatever app I wanted. If this was the case, would I be more willing to use this as a form of communication? My argument for not using a communication device is that it still takes time to write my thoughts out, so why not just voice them? It also builds a bond between me and the person I am talking with. On the other hand, my personality could still be missing, which could ultimately depersonalize the experience of knowing me.

I take the same approach to my art since each piece represents me as a person. How can AI imagine my art in the same way that I do? When the Chuck Close app came out, anyone could create an image in his style, but do you understand how he works and why? The concept of art is to convey thoughts and feelings. Can AI represent us, individuals? Different marks within an artwork can change a feeling for that second.

Can AI represent us as individuals or just reinforce stereotypes? Is the efficacy and speed of AI worth losing our unique abilities and voices? I might be the most conflicted about the use of AI. The other week, I told my friend my body needs tomorrow's technology, but I have a soul from many lifetimes ago.

Kinggimp.coffee, What In The World??!

Who would think kinggimp.com would be so popular? Of course, it was taken before I would get home from the Oscars and was for sale for a gigantic amount. I had to wait a few months until the domain name was available again. I had the domain name for about 20 years, and about seven months ago, it was bought out from under me. I typed in the URL, and it went to an Asian gambling website. I looked it up the other day, and now it is a Middle Eastern website. It makes me wonder what king means to different cultures.

Was it worth the time and money to regain the .com? I was Godaddy and saw .coffee. HMMM!!!! That is more like me; anyone who has spent time with me knows how I am about coffee, especially in the studio. I have been asked what inspires me, and I jokingly replied caffeine. The URL KingGimp.coffee is just me; I am sure it will be harder to get web traffic to my site. Since when have I taken the easy way, my way leaves an impression. It has been over 24 years since the documentary was unleashed on the world, and I still receive messages from around the globe; welcome to KingGimp.coffee!!!
