As should shock absolutely no one, I'm falling on the more complicated side of the fence on the AI question. I don't think AI can independently invent anything. Extrapolation can look like invention, and I know because I do it on the daily, but it takes a soul, a mind squishy in both thought and texture, to create. I do think that this is a time of incredible opportunity to experiment and to freely share with each other the amazing things we, humans, can create together.
Note: Freely.
I do think that churning out things in minutes with AI and then attempting to sell it as one's own word is deeply dishonest as well as dishonorable. We all know where the information is coming from, no one should suffer from any illusions that generative AI is anything more than a chimera of the human experience.
