What better way to come together this holiday season than to argue about AI? Marshall plays the role of the YouTube commenters from episode 12 and Stan battles him about the implications AI could have on art, suggesting we should look at AI from an optimistic and synergistic point of view.

I battle commenters about the implications AI could have on art, suggesting we should look at AI from an optimistic and synergistic point of view. Filled with ugly sweaters and playful debate
Regarding the question about an AI that could tend to your art need based on your genome:
The way this could potentially work would be by projecting a model to try to predict your personality based on the likelihood developing certain areas of the brain through your genetic code.
It would then always need to gather some information of your actual personality, through possibly some tests.
In theory should be possible, but due to the heavy environmental dependent nature of brain development is should be very hard to achieve.
timestamp 22:23 TextField commented that a proliferation of good AI art would devalue good art and Stan responds with :"Computers can write and we still communicate in writing" To defend TextField a bit: I think he's making a supply and demand argument. If the market for art is glutted with good art created by AI then people will buy that art and it will lower the commissions artist can make. I don't think TextField is correct because AI art will continue to be detectible and people will still want art created by a human enough to pay for it but I don't think Stan's response addressed that.
