On AI and “unethical training”
Yes, models learned from the internet. And so did we.
Throughout the history of art, every artist is a collage of everything they’ve seen, loved, and transformed.
On AI and “environmental impact”
Yes, AI consumes energy. That is real. And we must do better.
But so does every medium. Studios, production, infrastructure, shipping.
Art has always left a mark. What we create matters.
On AI and “fear of replacement”
Tools have always shifted the ground.
Photography. Photoshop. Digital editing.
Some crafts fade. Others appear out of thin air. Entire new languages emerge.
We didn’t burn the camera because photography disrupted painting.
If a work of art can be replaced in seconds, the problem isn’t the machine. It’s the work.
On AI and “devaluation of skill”
Skill was never just technique. It’s vision. Restraint. Point of view. Emotion.
AI doesn’t erase that. It exposes it.
Give the same tool to ten people, you’ll get ten very different worlds.
On AI and “soulless art”
The machine has no soul. That is true.
But the artist does.
AI is not the author. It’s the instrument.
A piano doesn’t feel either. No one undermines Mozart.
On AI and “style theft”
Yes, AI does need boundaries.
But art styles have always been porous.
Movements exist because artists echo, distort, borrow, collide.
What matters is intent. Passing off imitation as authorship is not art.
AI didn’t invent this. It made it more obvious.
On AI and “the end of art”
Art has survived everything. Wars, capitalism, criticism.
It’s not that fragile.
If anything, this moment asks a sharper question
What is worth making when anything can be made?
Good artists don’t freeze. They move forward.
Yes, some of the discomfort is real.
Some of it is also fear of losing control. Or status. Or certainty.
But art was never about certainty.
It was always about surrendering to the unknown.
Art created with AI doesn’t close that door.
Quite the opposite, it blows it wide open.
This is sci-fi-level significant.
We’re watching AIs interact with each other in a forum like humans.
This project was already pushing at AGI by generalizing what tasks AI can do, and now it’s poking a stick at a path to sentience (shared experience reflections) as well.
We’re not prepared for how quickly production pipelines are going to change with AI.
Some of the latest video models have immediate implications for Hollywood - endless character swaps at a negligible cost.
