Laggin’ Out as a company, has long discussed the merits, potential, and possibilities of A.I. We’ve made no secrets of our opinions and criticisms, as well as the positive criticisms we have for A.I. as a technology.
There is much to say about A.I. There are those that are hellbent on seeing A.I. be defanged, dismantled, or otherwise hamstrung in the creative industries, and understandably so. Procreate is one such business.
According to Tech Crunch, Procreate released a statement against generative A.I. In their statement, Procreate, the iPad design app, states that generative A.I. is removing the human element out of things, and alleges that the technology is founded on theft. The app developers have also made a commitment to never use A.I. in any way.
The official statement can be found here.
While the statement is bold, and commendable, one cannot halt the forward march of technological advancement. One cannot help but think that this statement will eventually come back and bite them.
To avoid the use of A.I. will, in many cases, stunt growth in a population that has embraced it. However, the reliance on A.I. will cause people to stunt in their development in other ways. Most of us agree that there is merit to both opinions in this case.
That isn’t to say that there is a right answer or a wrong one in this topic. A.I. is going to take its place in peoples’ bag of technological tools whether the world wants it or not.
Chieftain seems to agree that A.I. is a powerful tool, and has made a point of learning more about A.I. in his chosen industry despite his dislike of it.
Soda says “A.I. sucks, but we all need to learn to live with it and work with it, sadly.”
For the most part, many believe there is a place for A.I. in the creative arts industries…but as a tool, not a source of income, or a means to steal intellectual property.
What do you, the Laggin’ Out Legion, think about A.I? Let us know in the comments
