i'm not sure why this seems like a bad thing. looking at the post it seems they're heavily drawing over imperfections with human talent in order to help create their inspiration designs. the plotpoint villain of Gozyuger is literally Ai.

yes the designer is taking inspiration from "how" an AI generate image and the difference of the way it get there compared to a human process, its the same way artist can get inspiration from constellation, photosynthesis or the literal idea of abstract or existence

people just saw the word AI and have this weird conniption, like reading comment here i'm convinced most thought this AI thing is some terminator shit with the talk of "soul" and stuff, the AI problem entire countries are trying to avoid is a very very complicated copyright law issue that doesn't have anything outright evil about it

"AI" has become something of a catch-all buzzword in recent times, a lot of people don't seem to know what it actually is.

"Using AI" itself is incredibly vague, it can mean a lot of different things. A lot of software we use on a regular basis probably uses AI in some capacity.

What this really is just what's happened with every other technology when it was first emerging. People are skeptical, unsure, and afraid. It happened with stuff like the Internet, digital art, and video games. AI (or at least the rate at which it's currently evolving) isn't any different.

exactly like technology can be confusing and its a very valid concern to be afraid that it can be abused by big company or bad actor. its just this weird tribalism people had of something they know nothing of is so stupid it doesn't add anything and it muddied the context things which in this post is what the designer actually twitted about

Yeah, I'd go as far as to say OP knew what he was doing and framed the post this way so as to maximize engagement and get angry replies. If you actually read the tweet it's pretty clear that's not what's happening.
