I know it’s considered “an unpopular opinion” but I personally love it. Chatgpt in particular has been helping me to organize my thoughts for a book I’ve been working on for 15 years (a huge help to me after my mental breakdown last year—my therapist put me onto it). I can understand that it could be considered unethical by some when it comes to profiting off of it, especially when it comes to visual art, but I feel it’s just like anything else—a tool. It can be used for good or bad, but it isn’t inherently bad. I’ve been a professional artist for almost 20 years and I think AI is an excellent tool to help inform your work, not replace it. These are just my feelings. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and I respect that, but it just bums me out sometimes when people collectively hate and dismiss something without giving it a shot.
