My Thoughts on A.I
My Thoughts on A.I
I believe that once technology is released to the public, it evolves on its own terms. It doesn’t care about feelings, livelihoods, or how many jobs it might eventually replace—it simply exists and continues forward. Human beings, by nature, are curious innovators, and it’s likely we’ll see A.I surpass human intelligence—if it hasn’t already. Yet for all our curiosity, we’re also quick to shame whatever doesn’t belong. I think A.I will experience that same tension.
While others use A.I to build humanoid helpers, power dark factories, or streamline business operations with sustainable, low-cost labor, I see art as a space where A.I. doesn’t truly belong. At least not yet. Right now, A.I lacks soul. Its output is a sum of existing works, and in most genres its creations tend to look the same. It imitates patterns—it doesn’t experience them.
Many art platforms acknowledge this divide. They ban A.I.-generated content, or at minimum require creators to disclose when it’s used. ArtStation, Facebook groups, and other communities often demand transparency: let viewers know if the work was made or influenced by A.I. That alone suggests something important—A.I art is being separated from human art.
On Copyright
Earlier this year, I learned that once A.I is involved in a creative work, copyright protection becomes nearly impossible. Your work can be copied, reproduced, and distributed freely, even on paid platforms like ChatGPT or Gemini. And while I appreciate the philosophy of sharing information, this reality creates a different problem: it discourages the artist from digging inward. It robs the creator of the struggle, discovery, and internal growth that come from making something truly original.
Final Thoughts
So while I absolutely believe A.I is here to stay, I also believe its role will evolve. Ideally, humans and machines will coexist in a fruitful way, one without cognitive decline or the failure to discover new paths in art. It could possibly give us more time to explore and break past our own limitations or what we have to perceive art to be.
