""The Late Show" host said on an episode of the "Possible" podcast published Wednesday that AI can mimic art but will always struggle to escape the "uncanny valley." He asked whether AI-generated art will ever stop feeling "alien." True art comes from people because it fuses ideas with emotional experience, he said. "Art is by humans for humans about being human. It's not about ideas because ideas are constructs, and humans are not a construct," Colbert said."
"Beyond art, Colbert also likened AI-mediated experiences to eating processed food: technically complete, but missing something vital. "There is a growing suspicion that there are micronutrients of which we are not aware that we are robbed of," he said. Those "micronutrients," he added, may lie in the very failures and imperfections of human connection. The flawed nature of human interactions is inextricable from our experience of the world, he said."
AI can mimic artistic forms but often struggles to escape the uncanny valley and may continue to feel alien. True art fuses ideas with emotional experience and originates from human beings. Ideas function as constructs, while human experience encompasses emotional responses that give art authenticity. AI-mediated experiences can be technically complete yet lack vital qualities, analogous to processed food missing micronutrients. Those missing elements may reside in failures and imperfections of human connection, which are integral to lived experience. AI can expand practical access to services such as healthcare in underserved regions but cannot fully recreate human intimacy or therapeutic rapport.
