When everyone talks about AI and anything technological in general I always think of Doctor Who and a conversation the third Doctor has with someone about a computer and him using it. He explains to them that a computer is a machine and therefore a tool to be used like you would any other tool. This is how I view AI and anything that comes out new and scary. We make it the boogey man not the other way around. It's how we use it that dictates a lot of the conversation. So, we the humans at the end are in control.
Well laid out arguments. To show the difference of using it as a tool vs outright "creating", I believe the Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse film used machine learning to assist (being the key word) drawing the sketch lines around the characters to add the comic book, sketchy style to it, but that still meant hundreds of artists had to create all the art from scratch.
Then I see the problematic side on YouTube all the time, where videos are completely created using gen AI, pulling in assets, characters and actual people. So not only copyright theft, but also just wanting to make money for the sake of it. And that's probably where some of the problems lie: greed and making things as cheap and fast as possible.

Couldn't agree more. I see AI's appeal, where it could help humanity, but I also see where it could hinder human life. Hey! Just like all technology!
Thanks for the article!
