Humans have always used tools in the Arts, ever since the first charcoal paintings in the Cave of Altamira (and no doubt earlier).  AI is a very different ‘tool’: one capable of self-learning, doing, evolving, and in many ways outmoding.  This new technology poses profound human questions requiring deeper contemplation.
Meanwhile, “just use AI” has become the quiet directive behind many briefs, pitches, and public art calls. Few people want to talk about what’s being traded away, yet in Creative Class circles this is one of the main topics of discussion.

This panel is the first thought…
