“There's no way to ethically use generative AI for creative work. Creative work takes skill development, technique, and experience; those using generative AI are trying to bypass the development of these skills/experience at the expense of those who have already done that work, in a way that is colonial and unethical.” - Anonymous contribution to the AI@UNLV survey

“In order to avoid blind reliance to the AI design tools that are currently being developed by a few companies, design practitioners should become interdisciplinary generalists, learning higher level concepts of how the tools that they use work, what they are made of, and eventually understand the boundary of their creative agencies to critically use the tools as augmentations to their design intent.” - Anonymous student comment cited in "Generative Algorithms for Art and Architecture: A Collaborative Teaching Approach," DOI: https://doi.org/10.9741/2996-4873.1007

AI is our generation's disruptive technology, and it is eliciting strong reactions - as you can see from the quotes above.
