It might be a tired subject at this point, but I increasingly see more conversation discouraging its existence. There’s a lot of fear surrounding its use that I don’t personally understand. I will always want to advocate for artists, especially when we live in a world that seems to constantly devalue them. However, I personally don’t see a point in trying to fearfully eradicate AI use. I don’t believe it to be possible to reverse the advancement in any capacity. I think we can definitely advocate for ethical consumption and I believe that’s where we should instead aim. Wishing to remove AI from art completely (in any form) seems like a lost cause to me. I‘m not speaking with an attitude of pessimism in any of this. I would like to see a future where we can coexist with AI as a useful tool. I cannot claim to be well educated on this topic, so if this take is entirely ignorant I apologize and am greatly invested in learning more through open conversation :)
