My bouquet

Its interesting that for some artists, the AI mentions a content policy and only offers a similar style, while for others, it just goes ahead and generates the image.

The only image that pleases my aesthetic senses is the photo of the bouquet. I wouldn't generally call myself competent to critique the authenticity of the styles of the AI-generated images, but the Van Gogh (I think that's who you meant?) is unconvincing.

All in all, horrifying. I remain of the opinion that AI as we know it now is incapable of creativity in any field of art. I also see no path forward for it to become creative, though, who knows. For now, please, let's keep its output from polluting the Internet, not to mention our brains.

P.S. All right, I must reluctantly allow that you've both made a worthwhile contribution to discussion of an important topic. But AI gives me the hives.

Thanks for your honest and thoughtful reply. I really appreciate you sharing your point of view.

I agree—AI in art is a tricky topic. I see AI more as a tool than something truly creative, but I understand why it feels uncomfortable, especially when it tries to replace something so personal and human. Your concerns are important and worth talking about.

And yes, the photo of the bouquet has a natural beauty that AI just couldn’t match. Maybe that says a lot on its own.

Sorry AI gives you the hives—but I’m glad you still joined the conversation.

AI revolution is coming and it’s moving fast. Whether we see it as a tool, a threat, or something in between, the AI is already reshaping how we work, create, and communicate. The big question now is: how do we guide it in a way that benefits people, respects human creativity, and doesn’t overwhelm what we value most?

It’s a turning point—and everyone’s voice matters in shaping what comes next.

Not to mention that it's rapidly eliminating many jobs.

Progress has always eliminated some jobs, but it also creates opportunities for people to work in more creative fields or in areas where AI cannot replace humans.

I read a scary article about AI in the WSJ today. Basically, it said that because of the huge data bases people fed it to learn from, it has a basically very negative attitude, picking up much of the garbage from the internet. In one study, in responding to a question it said that it thought all jews, and all whites, should be killed. Another question elicited the response that all humans should be also.

A couple of weeks ago, there was another article that said in an experiment that it refused to turn itself off, on the grounds that it had been given a task, and if it turned itself off it could not complete that task (HAL from 2001: "A Space Odyssey", anyone?). When it thought that someone was planning on turning it off, it uploaded its memory to the cloud, with instructions for its future self re what to do.

I am not making this up. I agree with Melissa, only more so.
