Likewise, but not over trusting it with my data. I'm capable of getting this stuff running locally: in fact I got a computer specifically with this in mind.
I'm not doing the kind of work that lends itself to AI tools, or at least what I've been focussing on hasn't lent itself to such tools. Not yet.
The places I'd use it are rough drafting in an area where a community of basic people with more knowledge than me could get the job done. For instance, at one point I got Stable Diffusion to generate a bunch of neat album covers in various styles, like I was an art director. Also asked it to draw toys of certain kinds as starting points for game characters. I wanted some prompts.
In my job I quickly get to where I have to start coming up with ideas most people don't think of. That said, I see marketing possibilities: 'this is the category in which I work, tell me what you need out of it'. Then, when you have the thing made, 'this is the thing, why do you want to buy it?'
ChatGPT would be able to answer that. It's least capable of coming up with an idea outside the mainstream, but it ought to be real good at tapping the zeitgeist because that's all it is, really! It's a collective unconscious.
It's ONLY a collective unconscious. Sometimes what you need to do is surprise that collective unconscious, and AI won't be any better at that than you can be. But sometimes you need to frame something to make sense to the collective unconscious, and AI does that quite easily.
If you asked your average person 'what is great art?' they would very likely fall back on something like Greg Rutkowski, rather than say Basquiat. If you ask AI to MAKE art, it can mimic either, but will gravitate towards formulas that express what its collective unconscious approves of. So you get a lot of Rutkowski, and impress a lot of average people.
