    Hate is such a strong word. Some bad, some good.

    Bad:

    • Copyright infringement and other unethical practices in acquiring training data
    • Unimaginative AI art flooding the graphics market and the Internet
    • Taking work from actual artists that might generate something new
    • So much energy used on pointless, quickly forgotten “single-use art” in the middle of a climate crisis

    Good:

    • Okay starting point for logos for eg. small associations or clubs, preferably treated as version 0.1 and later worked on, but still an affordable option, and more personalised than clipart
    • Creative visual outlet for people with no interest in developing their graphical skills, but who have an urge to get a small number of specific images out of their system
    • Probably a good media for some commentary on the relationship between real a unreal, familiar and alien cognition, and such, but that itself is such a cliche
    • Simply a fun toy
