Stage In The Sky

I have so many thoughts about AI when it comes to being an artist, especially as it relates to Hollywood and the publishing industry.

Recently, there were graduations where young graduates booed when the idea of AI came up.

And I get it. I think the reason why they booed was because so many companies and corporations are banking more on AI capabilities than on human beings.

At the same time…I also understand the corporations and companies.

If you have access to a tool that can get you the desired result of an employee, and it costs you pennies on the dollar compared to the yearly salary you’d have to pay that employee…I won’t go so far as to say, “Why wouldn’t you use it?” because I know we’re talking about real people’s jobs and livelihoods here.

But I would say this: they’d be foolish not to at least explore it.

And here’s my attitude about the whole thing. Maybe I’m just a different breed from some of my peers. Maybe it’s just the way I was raised in the 90s when Michael Jordan was dunking on fools and people still embraced the spirit of competition instead of acting like every challenge was some kind of injustice.

But when it comes to AI, I say: Challenge accepted.
