There is a lot of conversation around artificial intelligence these days. It was once thought that art making or creativity in general was something that AI could not emulate, something uniquely human. Sure, it could solve technical problems with speed, but a drawing or music? That was the domain of the creative human. However, the work coming from projects like DALL•E and others begs to differ. Even robots have the ability to dance. With the amount of innovation (a lot) and the rate of it (very quick), we are finding ourselves in a new world. Notably not on the precipice of, but in. The technology is here, available for use, and people are using it.
How might we think about our role in all of this?
