AI and the Art of Remixing The postproduction paradigm

AI language models are revolutionizing creative expression by mirroring the remixing techniques of postproduction art. This new capability challenges traditional notions of original authorship, allowing creators to curate, remix, and collaborate with existing cultural materials in innovative ways.

I have written about this concept in my blook, and Donald Clark has also discussed it in his blog and LinkedIn, renaming it “postcreation” and writing:

Postcreation: a new world. AI is not the machine, it is now ‘us’ speaking to ‘ourselves’, in fruitful dialogue.

This perspective offers an exciting glimpse into the impact of LLMs and Generative AI. These technologies hold immense potential with far-reaching consequences. Over the long term, their influence will be transformative across various fields.
