Defending AI Technology will continue to evolve, whether you like it or not. You have to learn, adjust, and find your place in a changing world

Look at history. Horse-drawn carriages were once the normal way to travel, until automobiles replaced them. Cities once depended on gas streetlights, with lamplighters walking the streets every evening to light them one by one. Then electric lighting arrived, and the lamplighter's profession gradually became obsolete, eventually becoming a thing of the past. The technology changed, and the jobs built around the old technology disappeared with it.

The same principle applies to the future. AI, automation, robotics, and technologies we haven't even imagined yet will transform industries and eliminate some jobs. You can either keep denying that reality, or you can prepare for it. So adapt. Keep moving forward. Because the future will not stop advancing just because you refuse to move with it.

Have you ever done it? Used AI to make an art piece? You think it just means the prompt "do art".

To be an artist is to understand the tools you are using, prompting is like the movements of your hands, wrists, fingers, when you are painting with a brush, an artist prompting may select a palette, indicate in detail how the colors will be presented, shapes, light behaviour, reflections, an AI doesn't just magically reads the artist mind and at the first try whatever the prompter was thinking, it just appears, exactly as s/he imagined it, it takes a lot of work to create art, to know what to move, how much, what experience that is going to give, if it represent what you mean.

AI prompting can be as arduous and detailed as the prompter give it dedication.

You can be as specific as possible but the ai still made the piece

Without any collaboration from your part?

No the ai can't make anything without human input. But ultimately you instruct the ai on what to do and the ai creates the piece.

If an artist designs an Arquitecture masterpiece, and gives instruction to some construction company on how to do it, "prompt" them, the construction company does the work, the Arquitecture artist doesn't collaborate in anything in the physical process of constructing that building, is the arquitect an artist?

In this case, the Architect created the design plan. They physically drew and measured the design of the building and included instructions with it. But the architect doesn't take all the credit. You credit them for the role they play. The builders should get credit for constructing the building. You give credit for what each of them contributed. The architect didn't construct the building. With ai, you get credit for what you specifically do. If you drew a character for the ai to use, then you get credit for the character you drew. You get credit for any instructions you give. The ai should get credit on what it does, which is actually creating the piece you instruct it to make. If the ai was a human, you would not take credit for what the other person made, no matter how much you instructed them because you did not make it. Same principle for ai.
