A lot of the discourse around AI these days reminds me [that human] judging and justifying are separate processes.
“Intuitions come first, strategic reasoning second.”
We immediately, intuitively, and subconsciously know what we want to say about a topic, then dragoon our conscious reasoning powers into crafting an explanation for why that intuition is correct.
From The Neuron (more from Andrew McAfee - scroll down to "Motivated Reasoning"):
So apparently someone on X posted a real Monet painting and told people it was AI, which immediately turned the internet into an emergency Art Criticism symposium.
The comments did exactly what you would expect: people found “slop,“ “no soul,“ weird textures, fake passion, and all the usual signs of a machine-made image. One Redditor summed it up perfectly: “All of a sudden everyone's an expert on impressionism.“
Another pointed out the best part: the original poster basically prompted people to “describe in detail“ why it was inferior… and they returned the most likely tokens.
We have invented the world's first reverse Turing test, where humans prove they are human by hallucinating they are art critics.
