Attending professor’s Leach conference about his opinion about AI is certainly an interesting experience. He mostly spoke about how AI is this extremely smart web that connects all human minds and thoughts into one place, making it smarter than 5 people combined. Professor Leach praises the concept that AI is an extremely helpful tool that is open to all.
My thoughts were mostly concerned with ethics. Should we as a community come up with regulations and a set of requirements to not make others use AI for their advantage. As an artist who mostly uses digital art (tablet and pen) I think people need to realize how harmful it is to use AI tools without proper manners. In the end AI is made from people’s thoughts and work, if people get used to “creating” art whether it be a drawn piece or a song I personally would consider it theft. Because it uses copies of other artists to replicate what a person wants. It might be fine to have it for personal use, however publicly claiming their own hard work is a little shameful.
I really think regulations should be set for AI, and people should be mindful of the type of work they do.
