Everything that we have covered in this class has been under the assumption that the integration of AI into daily tasks is inevitable. I wish that I did not agree with this fact, but I do. I spend many hours of my life on Adobe platforms, and I have for many years. One thing that I have noticed the most is that with every update of Adobe comes another AI tool that is shoved into your workspace. It has gotten to the point that after working in Photoshop for too long, my computer will start to crash.
While this is extremely frustrating, I have also found that many of these AI tools do help me to complete simple tasks faster. Just as we have discussed in this class, AI is never perfect and even when I am using it on a platform that is suggesting its use, I often have to go back through and fine tune the changes that AI made to any given project. This use of AI tools is not going to go away in the content creation realm any time soon. At first, it seemed like the AI tools were something fun to just play around with, but now it seems as though I cannot complete a project without using them at least once.
From this class, I have gained the knowledge to ethically pick and choose my moment of using AI. LLMs are never going to replace human creativity, but they have made it easier to navigate creative outlets that have often been too complicated for an untrained eye. In the future, I hope to continue to use LLMs and their tools to further my work and polish designs. But I never want an LLM to determine what my pieces convey or change my style.
Good observations. You never want LLMs to take over your creativity because that’s what makes you unique.
Creativity is really important and unique for human. We do a lot, experience a lot to create something new rather than combining old stuff and pretend to be “new”.
