I’ve been saying for a while, IMO the thing with AI is that it is actually pretty useful in certain circumstances. The problem I think is, we’ve taken something that’s a handy tool and blown it up to world-altering proportions. This has also made everyone very polarized - there’s the camp of “It’s going to take over the world and do everything” vs. the camp of “I can’t wait for AI to go away” and I don’t think either of those will fully happen. I think when the dust settles it’ll just be more of a correction back to where it should have been in the first place, which as I say is more of just a handy tool in the toolbox.

I think some of it is how you apply it personally too. Like I’m an arts person, but I don’t let AI do any actual art stuff, because that’s what I want to do. What I think it can be useful for is all the paperwork like grant applications, form letters etc. AKA the sort of mindless paperwork clutter that doesn’t need a lot of brain power but still needs to be done and eats up time. I’m fine to let AI do that stuff, so I can spend more time doing the actual art myself.
