Document Note: Meaning is the product of a mind, and is therefore contingent on the context in which the stimulus is observed.
The author suggests that the key elements are a cognitive information transformation characterised by agency and intent.
Summary: The article explores the concept of meaning in creation and the impact of AI on the creative process. It discusses how AI changes the dynamic between creator and audience, potentially diluting the depth of meaning in creations by removing the direct connection between the creator's intent and the final output. The document highlights the importance of understanding where meaning originates and how AI-mediated creation can hinder the authentic exchange of ideas and emotions between creators and their audience. Ultimately, the author suggests that relying too heavily on AI for creation may lead to a loss of meaningful connections and self-expression.
Note: Even the most carefully-engineered AI response, or an AI response blended with human input, fundamentally destroys the reciprocal and interactive interaction between original creator and audience and etc.
