Ethan Zuckerman discusses Angine de Poitrine, art, creativity, and the purpose of AI in new column in Prospect Magazine

In his latest column for Prospect Magazine, Ethan Zuckerman discusses the purpose and capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of music, artistic creation, and creativity. In the piece, Zuckerman uses French-Canadian microtonal rock band Angine de Poitrine as an example of "weirdness being humanity's greatest asset" as AI tools increasingly encroach upon areas where subjective taste, talent, and skill have been reserved for human creators. Ultimately, Zuckerman ponders the question of what kind of work should AI be tailored for in our lives, and whether it should be tasked with administering our calendar or creating our art.
