FUCK IA/AI

Hi! Lately, I've been seeing videos on TikTok about art competitions featuring AI-generated works, people using AI to generate stories, about the AI-generated actress, etc. This really bothered me because AI DOESN'T MAKE ART, and it reminded me of a language arts assignment.

We had to write an argumentative/opinion piece on a topic that interested us (preferably something happening in our society), and I said, "Hey, I'm going to give my opinion on AI and art." Anyway, I explain the use of AI image generation; if you want to read it, read it, and if you don't, I honestly don't care.

 Introduction

Humans use art to express our feelings, thoughts, and opinions. Technology, on the other hand, is used to satisfy our needs and make various tasks easier to perform. Thus, throughout human history, art and technology evolved alongside human civilization.

Between 2023 and 2025, several people began programming Artificial Intelligences (AI), digital assistants that (according to their databases) carry out the orders we give them. Some of their functions include searching for information on a topic, explaining something we don't understand, and generating illustrations and animations.

Although it's not bad to have the help of AI, I'm not in favor of its use in art (mainly in the workplace) because many people struggle to pursue what they love. Furthermore, this takes away the originality of a person's ideas, because AI relies on images in its database.

 Development of the Theme

As explained in the paper Artificial Intelligence in the Creative Industries: A Review (2021) by researchers Nantheera Anantrasirichai and David Bull, there is a critical current that argues that Artificial Intelligence could threaten the uniqueness and authenticity of the creative spirit in art.

Artificial intelligences possess "artificial creativity," which refers to the behaviors that these AIs perform that are considered creative. What actually happens is that AIs are based on illustrations already created by humans. This can cause many works to lose originality because a machine can recreate or clone them in seconds. It would also cause works created by humans to lose authenticity because, with so many copies, who first thought of the idea?

When a drawing is created with AI, the question arises as to who the true author is. If an author is the person who creates a work (in this case, artistic work), who is the author? The AI ​​that generated the drawing or the person who gave it the order?

There is also the fear of being replaced by a machine, and the insecurity that arises in the viewer of not being able to distinguish whether a piece has been created by a human being or a machine. This affects our conception of art and creativity, as we have always considered these to be genuinely human qualities and impossible to replicate.

If the jobs of illustrators and animators are replaced by machines, it is likely that many jobs will be replaced by machines, because why hire someone who has studied for years when they can use a machine to do it? For example, a publishing house might ask an AI to generate a fantasy novel, and it would be generated in seconds; compared to a human who would take a long time to write and proofread it.

 Conclution

Returning to the above, it's good to use AI as a tool to facilitate a task, not to replace what a person does. It's necessary, even essential, to establish ethical standards that guarantee fair and transparent collaboration between the human mind and artificial intelligence tools. Responsible use of these tools is essential to preserving originality, authenticity, and human creativity applied to art in the face of the rapid advancement of digital technology.
