I use AI generated images for this blog on non-commercial basis. These images are quite good in my opinion, but does not surpass human creative strength.
There are different base machine learning models where the “styles” are derived, providing different genres of images.

AI-generated images are an exciting and evolving field, offering both creative potential and important ethical considerations. From a creative standpoint, AI can generate highly imaginative, diverse, and complex visuals that push the boundaries of what artists and designers can achieve. It has opened up new opportunities for people who may not have formal training in art but want to express themselves visually.
However, there are important challenges. One is the question of authorship and originality, as AI models often draw from vast datasets that include existing works, leading to concerns about plagiarism or the devaluation of human creativity. Additionally, there are potential risks related to misinformation, deepfakes, and the generation of harmful or misleading content.
Overall, AI-generated images offer tremendous possibilities for creativity and innovation, but it’s essential to address ethical issues, intellectual property rights, and the responsible use of technology in this domain.
Technology was created to aid human endeavour, replacing the need for humans to perform menial tasks, and so allowing humans to focus on grander goals requiring intellectual and creative capacity. AI does not overcome humans in this aspect.
That is what I believe. As machines take over manual labour, people should not view it as a loss of jobs but an opportunity to embark on greater achievements.
AI does not replace any domain distinctively human. It does not have the ability to overcome the limitless human mental capacity.
Or does it ? At this time, we do not have the means to build machines which match human cognitive strength. We have yet to reach the limits of our own. What about the future ? Maybe ?
We should utilise AI for humanity’s benefit. A tool for human progress. Not for conflict, nor fear. There are many schools of thought on the AI question. Many conflicting views, social, political, technological.
In the end, I feel the excitement of embracing AI. Like science-fiction is the manifestation of human dreams. Could this, one day, be science-fact ?
