As other artists do, I feel the same fear that the devastation of AI could bring upon an industry that we’ve built by our own hands. And yet, I hate the usual dichotomy in which we draw comparisons between AI and humans; AI – cold, technologically superior, feelingless; human – flawed, visceral, and mortal. It’s clear who gains the moral upper hand in this framing, by mere virtue of us refusing to imagine further than that (how boring). And I hate being put in the position of picking a side, because in all truth, I love Data – data with a capital D, that is, the lovable android from Star Trek.
