I Am Actually So Annoyed With The Use Of AI In Scholastic Settings And In Artists Settings.

I am actually so annoyed with the use of AI in scholastic settings and in Artists settings.

Someone once tried to defend the use of AI by saying;

“Without AI I wouldn’t pass this class” -someone who has always pulled top marks in the subject

“AI isn’t embarrassing to use as long as you are just using it to avoid research” -someone who wasn’t using it to avoid reaserch

“AI isn’t even a true AI because it’s made by a human so it’s basically research” -someone who doesn’t even use AI and pulls too grades in my grade

“I take what Chat GPT says and reword it when i translate it” -MANY people in French classes in my school

“If it isn’t caught by *inset website for detecting AI* then it doesn’t really matter because I put enough effort in” -someone online who wasn’t using AI for an essay

“Well, *insert famous person* uses it to create * insert art*” -post on instagram

“I only use it to write emails for work” -my uncle about his job where he is a supervisor

Do these people genuinely not understand how stupid these arguments sound. How none of these are valid arguments to justify using AI especially for “creating” art. Most of these were said to me when I shared my opinion on AI

I’ve also heard people refer to using generative AI to create pictures and calling themselves AI artists. They do not understand that what they are doing is typing into a machine that then takes the work of many real people and artist and puts them together.

Do I think AI is Inherently evil? No.

But I do believe that it should not be used in a scholastic setting at any point and that when it is used it should be advertised that it is AI.

For example:

I saw an improve performance where the first half of the performance was written by 2020 Chat GPT then the actors improved from there. I personally think this is ok because it was the gimmick of the show

A family member of mine enjoys using AI to create pictures and exploring the limits of what it can create. (At this point in time) he uses it as something to do and does not believe that he is an artist or is creating this “art”

Using AI to help you manage tasks (goblin tools is what I’m thinking off but I imagine there are other instances where this applies)

Summarizing medical documents and research paper in order to decipher the language that makes it harder for “regular people” to understand

I don’t understand how anyone who creates their own art or writes their own papers or does their own research can be ok with the use of AI
