I have been using the AI feature that comes with WordPress lately to create many of the “illustrations” that come with my blog post. Including the one that is here. I am not sure how I feel about it.

The convenience is great. The results erratic (as in the picture below). Yet I struggle with the sense that I am somehow “cheating” art by doing so.

In our AI future, will writing and art (little “w” and little “a”) become obsolete? Am I complicit in the de-humanizing of the Arts (capital “A”) by using this tool? What about as a writer? Could what I write here be better done in the end by AI?

I have no answers, only questions at this point. What do you think?
