During a lecture on artificial intelligence, I joked in the chat room “Maybe AI will buy work from us?” This is not an absurd thought at all.
Research shows that artificial intelligence needs human input to develop – when it learns solely from its creations, it degenerates.
This opens up a whole new perspective for artists and craftspeople. Instead of fearing being replaced by AI, we can look to a future where AI becomes the main consumer of human creativity. Instead of competing with machines, machines will rely on human talent and imagination, becoming the main buyers of artworks.
I am calm.
