• How The San Francisco Symphony Has Rebranded

  11-02-2021 23:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The modern approach plays out in its new look, which patrons will see on everything from posters outside the box office to tickets to the website and social media. The static typeface of yesteryear, which looks the same no matter where it’s applied, is gone.

• Why Artificial Intelligence Will Never Write Compelling Novels

  11-02-2021 22:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  If computers could do literature, they could invent like Wells and Homer, taking over from sci-fi authors to engineer the next utopia-dystopia. And right now, you probably suspect that computers are on the verge of doing just so… Yet despite all this gaudy credentialing, the hoax is a complete cheat, a total scam, a fiction of the grossest kind. Computers can’t grasp the most lucid haiku. Nor can they pen the clumsiest fairytale. Computers cannot read or write literature at all. An
