Is artificial intelligence good or bad?

My personal opinion about artificial intelligence, its uses, risks, advantages and disadvantages

My opinion is that artificial intelligence is good, but if you continue reading I will explain it to you, which is much better for both of us.

Much has been said about artificial intelligence for years. We all remember some futuristic television series in which an AI piloted a spaceship or even how to forget GLADOS or JARVIS in video games and movies.

But let's be honest. It was not until the end of 2022 when OpenAI launches publicly ChatGPT based on its LLM or Large Language Model technology that many of us would use on a regular basis.

And the problem - or rather, the circumstance - is not so much the output of this Artificial Intelligence but exposure to the average user which has made us consider the doubts, challenges and path forward of this technology.

When these types of technological advances are left in the hands of professionals in their respective fields, they do not pose any problem. If so, theArtificial intelligence would have remained what it was until now. Little more than fiction.

What happens when artificial intelligence reaches the general public?

And that's the question, as someone who was not an AI once said… Curiously, two events occurred that, although they seem contrary, were somehow able to coexist in complete harmony even to this day.

On the one hand, I remember as if it were yesterday —and it almost literally is— how digital newspapers, eager to get clicks on their headlines, put, almost as an irrefutable reality the end of humanity at the hands of AI.

It was all completely alarmist news about the chaos to come. Loss of control of the systems that we had established, Writers would disappear, screenwriters would lose their jobs. and in a couple of years we would not be able to read anything that had not been written by an artificial intelligence.

On the other hand, those of us who are interested in the subject went crazy with joy. We start to to experiment, to try "prompts", to try to get the most out of the chat, to chat about transcendental topics and ultimately, to have a good time.

It helped many of us to start undertaking projects, to have genuine fun and, above all, to have the feeling that finally, we really had all the knowledge of the history of humanity to reach.

We were few and Midjourney was born

I speak of Midjourney how can I talk about Dall-E —which to be fair was before MJ— or Leonardo.AI. Image generation artificial intelligence had come not only to stay but to improve.

And start again. The cartoonists would go on unemployment, the illustrators would have to start looking for other jobs and everything we saw on Instagram would be generated by a hopeless AI. There would be no room for photography or human illustrations.

There was a truly massive anti-AI movement led by different designers and illustrators who fundamentally repudiated the use of artificial intelligence, without even considering the possibilities it could offer them as professionals.

Possibilities that many of us knew how to enjoy. Some from the amateur point of view and some from the point of view of illustrators who use AI for what it is, a tool to rely on to continue working and even get better and better.

Because yes, there are thousands of illustrators, cartoonists and creatives who use these AI's as what they are, which is nothing more than a new way to expand their knowledge by using it as help in times of need. little creativity or blockage.

As of these lines we have hundreds of artificial intelligences available to the general public, like yours as well. ELEVEN-LABS or music ones like MusicLM from Google. As I say, there are hundreds and everything seems to continue more or less as before.

Can Artificial Intelligence replace the creative human being?

Well no. Definitely not, at least for now. I am fully aware that in the future we may have real difficulties differentiating between something made by a human being and something made by artificial intelligence.

And we are still far from that. ChatGPT continues to "hallucinate" by inventing terms and answers, and image-generating AIs continue to have aberrations and errors and have problems generating certain concepts.

At the moment we have a defined path towards text and image generation. It's up to the video. SORA recently came to the fore, which is having brutal results with respect to video creation, although we are still fairly far from being perfect.

Artificial intelligence must be a tool

Today I was taking some photographs with my humble mobile phone and I used Lightroom to retouch the colors, contrast and lighting with the aim of improving the limitations of my smartphone camera as much as possible.

That must be Artificial Intelligence, not good or bad, but useful.

For me, AI should be used to experiment, learn and support. To explore the limits, to be better and to get out of a creative impasse. AI must be a tool as were the image editors.

It is normal that, depending on which unions, there is some concern, but progress in this direction is inevitable, simply the same as the Internet or the democratization of computing or mobile telephony so that we all had a mobile phone with us.

Will the VFX creatives be next? Or the musicians? Or who knows… In the end, I am convinced that, as in all these cases, far from losing jobs, this tool will serve to broaden the horizon even further.

Don't forget to continue creating and enjoy artificial intelligence. It is the greatest technological advance since the internet. Let's take advantage of it.
