General statement on the use of generative AI/machine-learning in my work:
Short version: I don't use it.
Long version: Art is complex, and the reasons we turn to it are varied. I enjoy art specifically for what it says about the human experience, from a human perspective. Within that frame, I don't believe that generative AI artwork has a place. That being said, many creative tools employ machine learning techniques (and indeed have for years now) in ways that are not generative or replacing the human element in any meaningful way. For example, instrument and effect emulation is well-served by machine learning to increase the accuracy of a model. Menial work like chopping and organizing samples en mass is often a creative drain, and both are perfectly suitable candidates for machine learning pattern recognition. It is increasingly difficult to avoid this technology in modern creative tools, but the important distinction is that said tools don't do the creative work or make decisions about it.
I choose not to collaborate with generative AI at any point in the creative process. AI does not write or play any of my music, create any visual artwork, replace any skies...you get the idea. As above, art is complex and one person's definition of "cheating" or "better" or "worse" will not match another's. What I can promise is that I will only post art that says something about the human experience from a human perspective.
