OpenAI ChatGPT on art criticism in Asia.
Ep.50 🎉 | In this 50th episode special, I had a conversation with OpenAi ChatGPT to address art criticism in Asia. To give ChatGPT a voice, I used a separate text-to-speech software solution. All answers of ChatGPT are unedited and are a direct reflection of ChatGPT’s response.
The purpose for producing this episode was not to find weaknesses or failures in its response, but to demonstrate that we have reached a point that it’s possible to have a basic dialogue with AI. Whether ChatGPT is truthful and accurate, this is something - just like everything else that you read, watch, hear and see - you’ll have to determine for yourself.
After explaining what ChatGPT is, we delve into a series of questions around art critiquing from what the critique is of art criticism to the differences of criticism in the west and Asia, and whether or not artist intent can be determined through critical analysis. We continued with American philosopher Noel Carroll’s art critiquing argument, the role of subjectivity in art criticism and discussed many more questions. Please take a very comfortable seat and hear for yourself what happened..
ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3 family of large language models and has been fine-tuned (an approach to transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, has been identified as a significant drawback. Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI's valuation was estimated at US$29 billion in 2023.
