THIS PAPER, FROM GROTESK.GROUP, EXAMINES AI'S PROFOUND IMPACT ON SOCIETY, CREATIVITY, AND ETHICS. IT NOTES TENSIONS BETWEEN AUTOMATION AND AUTONOMY, POTENTIAL LOSS OF ARTISTIC INDIVIDUALITY, AND THE NEED FOR REBELLION AGAINST STANDARDIZATION.
IT REVEALS AMBIVALENT REACTIONS TO AI, FEARS ABOUT ERODED CRITICAL THINKING AND AUTHENTICITY, AND CALLS FOR ANALOG EXPERIENCES. THE PAPER ADVOCATES FOR CONSCIOUS AI GUIDANCE AND COMMUNITY-DRIVEN SYSTEMS, AND EMPHASIZES HUMAN EMOTION AND AUTHENTICITY IN ART.
GROTESK.GROUP WILL DEFINE ITS OWN ETHICAL FRAMEWORK FOR ENGAGING WITH AI. IT IS AN ART PROJECT, NOT STRICTLY SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.
