That's just ridiculous. It is already incorporated into a lot of programs in use by designers today and it will only continue. It's not like it's either ALL AI or NOT AI. It's going to be (and already is) one more tool for people in a lot of different fields. Whether it's sustainable or not has nothing to do with it. Our whole economic system is unsustainable and that's stopping no one.
A lot of those exact same arguments were made about NFTs, and we saw how that turned out. Legal issues are arising more often and gaining more attention as celebrities and officials become impacted by it. Companies that fully supported AI are turning around and reporting that profits aren't there and energy costs aren't feasable long term, and analysts have echoed the sentiment that the bubble will eventually burst. AI art has supporters, but there's notably a growing dissent against it and a general distaste, even among casual consumers and younger generations. Time will tell, in the end.
NFTs aren't useful. AI is SUPER useful, that's the difference. I am sure you can find examples of AI not working for everything imaginable, but it is already in use, and I am convinced it will not go away. It's already in schools at all levels, unlike NFTs. I don't have to convince you though, just wait and see.
Agreed, what you're saying is also true, though there are signs pointing to the bubble bursting despite this. Also AI in general (which I presume you're thinking of regarding schools) is a different nuanced topic than AI art. Regardless we both agree, time will tell.
Not currently, but I'm working on a freemode that will incorporate that option.
Can you expand on this? In a private convo would be preferable as to not derail the thread but how is AI affecting the environment any different than other software?
