Can AI do ugly? | TechCrunch

The TechCrunch Exchange discusses AI aesthetics, the challenge of uninsurability, and how to pitch a biotech startup to non-experts. The article highlights the current inability of most tools to accurately detect AI-generated text, a paradox noted by TechCrunch writer, Kyle Wiggers. Despite the human ability to discern AI-written pitches due to their distinct style and wordiness, it is considered too early for machines to detect this unique quality.

The article also references an experiment conducted on the social media account, Ugly Belgian Houses, which humorously emphasized the distinct look and feel of AI-generated art. This observation was previously noted by fellow TechCrunch writer, Ron Miller, who likened AI-generated text to AI-generated art in terms of their distinct aesthetics.
