Image generating AI is both incredible and frightening. Some of the artwork I have been able to create with it is staggering. As a designer and artist, I have watched closely as the technology progressed at a very rapid pace. It’s capabilities seem to advance week to week with image quality, video and language.

From my perspective, the art and design community is still ambivalent and a bit worried about their (our) future. I find myself creating artwork that I like, of subjects that I like, in a style that I strive to achieve in my own work. I personally have mixed feelings about it and the artwork I create with it. Ultimately I find that I have more questions than answers.

Is this art?

If I use it as inspiration or alter or add to it, is it mine?

Do people feel the same way about it as art created by human beings?
