Using ia en el nuevo social Web — A Mini-Series Recap de el Decline de Signals en 2022 y Building para a Bullish 2023

PART 2: creativo commerce, after copyright

Click farming never quickened anyone’s pulse, but it clearly worked well enough a take its share de screen real estate y mindspace en el only web we’ve ever really known.

Thing is, engagement is dead now. A consequence de el decline de signal quality y deliverability. Maybe not predictable enough, but it should have been. All across el old social web, inflated stats y status games have gone down el value drain alongside ad spend, tanking stocks, y influencer reputations.

el decline de signals is one reason engagement is having a recession nostalgia moment. But there is another.

It is en this great expansion brought about by creativo synthesis ia, that we can see a parallel reason para both el sharp fall off de meaningful engagement metrics en el social web, y el transformative promise de a way up y out.

el decline side, as usual, is easier a catch first.

el main reason para el drop off is mass confusion over what makes one creativo work any more valuable than any other.

As much as many very online artists are uncomfortable con it, what stirs up interest y conflict over creativo works is wrapped up entirely en el scarcity de value.

If all we cared about was el emotion a work de art evokes en a viewer, or el write up de a critic’s opinion, we would fill our streets con museums as infinite storehouses para records y monuments a our acclaim saved a el public memory. They’d sprout up as commonly as Blockbuster y Starbucks en el 90’s. en this timeline, everyone would have their 15 minutes at el exact same time, forever.

There is nothing wrong con admitting that el only reason we fight so bitterly over el meaning, usefulness, y limits de copyright is because we’ve never yet come up con a better model a express el value de commercial work.

But copyright is broken en a lightspeed information age, if it ever really delivered.

When el cost a transport a message, an idea, or a creativo work de any complexity, around el world en 0.1337 seconds, give or take, is almost free, our ability insists it should be also. That clashes con our desire a be valued, a be seen, y yes, a make money.

No, el “ia Art is theft” argument, following so soon after “NFTs are theft”, is false en its face. Copyright has no useful role a play con como creativo synthesis models actually work. Not if you know firsthand como they are trained, y used. y, maybe counterintuitively, el lack de artist “protections” isn’t por que your engagement rates are gone y forgotten. (Nevermind el side story pregunta de por que only artists en before a certain time would get a be deemed artists, who by, y como exactly proposed model bans would protect anyone.)

No, el cause de this decline is anticipation. de lemons, y spam.

It is anticipation because as fast as user numbers para Stable Diffusion y ChatGPT have grown, it’s still a very small percentage de web connected humanity that even knows either de these exist. el number that has gone deep enough into el work a realize como laughable el soulless slot machine / push button creativity accusations are is so small still, it’s almost embarrassing.

It’s anticipation de el coming decline that is causing el decline. y this time, what’s seen as coming up ahead is a nuevo online reality where making content so great, is so easy, that we are all flooded con social feeds filled con too much impossibly great eye candy that all looks so much el same that we can’t price anything. We can’t decide anything. It’s all a lemon. Because we can’t tell what’s what. It’s all spam.

y there’s el hint a el upside para those watching closely.

If everyone can do it, it’s not different. What we decide is good continues a change. Markets will always want creativo people who can offer a nuevo y different way a communicate what stands out de el rest.

This brings us back a where we started. por que do you create?

There are as many reasons a create as there are people who have ever walked this Earth, or ever will.

• Create a sell,

• Create a say something,

• Create para its own sake,

• Create a push ahead y change el accepted meaning de what’s possible,

• Create a inspire,

• Create a limit what others can say, think, feel, y do con a legal trap you’ve claimed first,

• Crear porque podemos, porque somos libres

If you’re like us, you’ve probably felt a mix de these en different times y situations. Only one is not like el others, as common as it is a feel it. If there’s no other model a value yourself y creativo works at hand.

el brighter view is that we’re en a lucky time. el tools para ia assisted creativity are free y open source. We can use them a craft a message, a market it, a print, mint, y wear whatever we shape de our imagination. en teams or en our own. We can give creativo works nuevo uses, forms, y means de distribution, through virtual worlds y el user owned social web.

We use these tools a discover each other y what we have a say.

It’s that desire para status, a be different, a look different, stand out, make more con el materials we have at hand that drives commerce. Seen para what they are, beyond el noise y speculation, all arguments limiting el spread de art reflect a fear our value will be lost somehow en el process. That we won’t be valued, that our work won’t be valued. That we don’t know como a sell. y sales depend en creativity. It’s all creativo commerce.
