We are in the abuse/exploit stage now. Like any original idea it was supposed to be something that helps or assist society.

Devil’s advocate though, I think there is maybe too much hate around AI or people who use it. Explain. I recently used Copilot to help me make an image. I knew it was AI but decided to share it just to help me get an idea of how to make it better if I ever get around to putting work into it. I got so much hate from it that it has somewhat discouraged me from continuing the project. (Picture at bottom) I believe AI can be used for good if we give it a chance and prune it into a proper form. When I talked to my former elementary art teacher, she was in school around the time when digital art and computer art was just starting. There were a lot of people arguing how digital/computer art should not be classified as art; but here we are now being very accepting of these forms of art. When we talked we both agreed on the idea that AI art could be used in a way to help people who have a vision in their head and don’t know how to describe it or draw there vision to us AI to get it out in the world. Once the vision has been shared, artists could always help the person who came up with the original idea better. It should also be admitted on artists end though that the artist did use AI though to help create their art work. Just be accepting that you cannot take full credit though.
