Dear readers,
I hate the VAPID identity produced by Ghibli filters. Do we all look happy, round, wide-eyed and stupid? Our surroundings are always wrapped in golden light, is the sky always blue? Do we always blush and smile? Although I admire the legendary Hayao Miyazaki movies, I stay away from the movie for a while whenever I encounter devouring images when I open up social media.
By this time, there has been so much talk about using AI in writing, editing, painting, animation, etc. that I have nothing to add to the debate. Speaking for myself, I can only say that I’m all quirks in art, and since chatgpt can be everything weird, I chose to ignore it.
Having said that, I must add that widespread use of AI in the coming days may be inevitable. The rebound now is inevitable. Remember Luddites was smashing machinery in the panic of mechanization caused by the industrial revolution in England in the 19th century? The protests had a fire, but the world continued to move forward, along the new machinery as it advanced, and absorbed some displaced workers. Those who cannot compare to the world fall off the highway and are forgotten. In the same way, those among us (including me) cannot accept the changes brought about by AI in the coming days and may lose their jobs and give up on radar. This process is sad, cruel, and unjust, but this is how the world develops.
Realist artists show the work of this fact in their novels. The Wessex novel by British novelist Thomas Hardy was set in the era of the Industrial Revolution, showing how it undermines traditional lifestyles based on agriculture. But he also points out that the older way of life is far from perfect – it is a way of sadness, cruelty and injustice.
If we use his miserable heroine Tess as a symbol of the man caught and destroyed by the crucible of social change, and her father is the representative of the feudal feudal approach, then we must admit that the father is likable in everything. It was his lack of responsibility for his family, coupled with his nostalgia-free tendency to push Tess to destroy by forcing her to seek work in the new d’Urbervilles.
Ultimately, of course, the responsibility for considerate rather than blindly seeking one’s own interests depends on the individual, not on technology, which is clearly beyond the moral paleness. Here is the lesson from Elizabeth Gaskell North and Southlocated in the smog-style industry north of England in the 19th century. Middle-class heroine Margaret Hale teaches wealthy miller John Thornton how to manage poor, rebellious workers to consider and compassion rather than the typical master and ruthlessness of his class. The resolution may be utopian, or even problematic bourgeoisie, but so far, no better solution to the root causes of the capitalist system has been found. BBC adaptation North and South It’s my favorite, especially since it’s Richard Armitage of Mr. Thornton’s deep voice and dark look.
The latest issue front Review of graphic adaptations Vaadivaasal of CS Chellappa: Arena Authored by Perumal Murugan and Appupen. While reading the review, I went back to the graphics in the book and was shocked by the kinetic energy in the still image. AI can certainly produce something similar, but needless to say, the hint still has to come from human artists. Moreover, due to the quality of the work, even if done with the help of AI, ultimately depends on the artist, one can find out the direction of the entire art and technology debate. Please check out the excellent reviews of the cartoonist himself Bharath Murthy.
This question front There are a lot of good reviews. Mridula Vijayarangakumar’s comment on Nobel champion Hankang’s latest novel We don’t separatea touching and profound feeling like the novel (I’m from a trusted source, Vijayarangakumar is Han Kang Bhakt). Aditya Sondhi’s Honesty and Fashion Review of Srikar Raghavan Rama Bhima Soma Let me appreciate my adoption status Karnataka with a new passion. Don’t miss the comments!
I’ll leave you here and return to my daily routine. But the gray clouds are gathering on bright red African tulips and the light is becoming butter, which is more of a reason to love Bengaluru/Karnataka/World.
Goodbye soon,
