The quality of AI is irrelevant, because it is perfectly valid to hate AI on principle alone.
Here is a machine built upon theft. Theft of creativity, theft of style, theft of resources, theft of technology, and theft of money.
The quality doesn’t matter. The costs/harms do.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
