AI is a tool like the paintbrush, or the printing press, or Photoshop. It will be used for good things, and for terrible things. The same printing press that birthed Mein Kampf also gave birth to The Color Purple. It’s as good a tool for art as the artist using it. To those who are against it, I’d say to fight AI is to fight the sea. It’s a useless endeavour and achieves nothing. It’s better to be curious, than it is to raise the drawbridge.
I wouldn’t quite put it in those words, but that’s why I’m quoting what he said instead. I’ve quoted Toledano in the past and his work continues to interest me as many of the themes and tools parallel ones I’ve been exploring.
