Irony is that A I is also actively being used to stop or reduce art fraud.

Just like many technologies , A.I has both good and bad applications .

How AI, robotics and late artist Norval Morrisseau are helping fight art fraud

Morrisseau's estate created AI to detect fakes, student creates robot to help in detection efforts

Finding fakes is time consuming work. It requires co-operation from galleries and private collectors, a trained, critical eye cast on anything purporting to be made by the late artist and the patience to keep pursuing justice through the court system.

But now a new tool has emerged to help the battle: artificial intelligence.

Bogged down by the enormity of the task at hand, Morrisseau's estate, which is run by Dingle, partnered with two art-loving professors to build software nicknamed "Norval AI" about three years ago. It can analyze art pieces and determine the probability that they're a genuine Morrisseau.

Im pretty sure Noone would object to A.I being used to stop a robbery, detect a terrorist or like in the example above, as a tool to preserve authentic art and actually promote creative integrity .

Using A.I as the centerpiece for creative endeavors is what is iffy. Especially if such an endeavor is practicaly and technically possible / viable for humans. A tool for someone involved in that ( creative) sector, maybe,...being the ART itself from start to finish, objecting to that ,is a very valid opinion . And lying about whether it's human or A.I made (Dragon con's contract prohibits use of A.I) is definitely fraudulent behavior. That applies to using A.I when its prohibited or stealing credit from another human .

But I don't think A.I is the root of all evil . It can do allot of good. Depends on the application .

I would, real people should do this with hard evidence, not some unintelligent algorithm.

Considering how often these "AIs" get things wrong, I don't trust them in the slightest.

AI's are faster than humans, but humans are smarter. That's why AI's must be kept firmly in their place, and not allowed to run things autonomously.

I treat A.I like a calculator. a tool.
Human guidance in combination with A.I. I wouldn't trust a calculator result if it felt off. I use my judgment too in case i punched it up wrong. . I wouldn't blindly accept what ever figure it gives.

Im not saying use A.I instead of humans. Im saying use it in addition to humans.

There are A.I operated driverless taxis out there. Though I'm not sure of the stats, but I would guess A.I driven vehicles probably have higher rate of accidents in comparison to human drivers . That's An example where i would not trust a.i. I wouldn't ride in one for sure. Or on an airplane .

A tool / aid is one thing, giving a.i a robo cop independent power of action is another.

But If A.I is used to flag a threat or multiple simultaneous threats in in real time, and then confirmed (and primarily actioned) by a human or humans, I can't see how that's a bad thing.

As A.I gets better, if it gets better, we can gradually give it more responsibility. But a measured, tandem use/ application between humans and A.I. , I have no issue with that.

I think using AI for things like preventing crime is a much, much different proposition from using AI to replace human participation in creative endeavors.

Being a safe driver is easy... right until you get on the road with thousands of other drivers, not all of whom are safe.

I mean... maybe they could at some point soon. But just because they can does NOTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! mean they should.

As far as arts go, a side effect of all this new AI hype is that people assume that regular old CG effects are "AI," and artists who use certain photoshop filters or painstaking creative editing effects are being accused of posting AI art when it absolutely isn't.

Certainly there's a slippery slope involved.
