RE: AI IS THE ENEMY? NO, WE ARE.____WEEK 237(ED2)

Thank you so much for this perspective @dickturpin, you made a very valid point!

I agree with you that fear of the unknown and protectionism is real. Like you said, if someone has an image in their head but cannot draw and cannot pay an artist, AI gives them a voice — and that should not be blocked simply because a human did not draw it.

Where my heart really broke in this story I wrote is the part where it was someone I know. It was not just an art, it was her face, her voice, used without her consent, and the comment section believed it was her. That is where I felt — AI is not the enemy, WE are, how we use it.

Like you rightly said at the end, EVERYTHING can be used for evil, it's how we protect ourselves that's important. Thank you for reading and for adding this balance to the conversation!
