Probably one of the most debated subjects in the last year is the rise of artificial intelligence programs, used to create anything from images and pieces of text to 3D graphics, music, videos and more. This rapid upswing did not come without its own suite of controversies: artists protesting about their works being used in the AI-training data bases without their consent, people calling the AI-generated images 'soulless', or talking about how it will take away opportunities from people in a domain where it can already be hard enough getting your foot in the door. And yet, the machine marches on. There is a narrative about more people being empowered to do creative work with the help of AI. Some of the big name publications started using AI-generated images for some of their articles. Apps using AI are being launched every day on PH alone. The distance from images made by humans and AI-generated ones shrinks every day. Who knows what they will look like in a couple of years? What's your opinion on this? Do you think there can be a way to ethically use AI for creative work? Do share your thoughts.

I'm looking for new and creative ways to solve problems, and I'm curious what other people do to get new ideas. I've tried this technique https://ralphammer.com/the-creat... with varying degrees of success.
