Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"There are certainly some people who oppose AI completely, and who see even the supposed benefits of AI as little more than “bribes” designed to distract people from the overwhelming harms AI causes. But, in fairness, much more of the inchoate opposition to AI seems to be less about an outright rejection of AI, and more about a sense that there are appropriate and inappropriate areas for AI usage. Or, to put it a different way: there are lots of people who have no problem with AI being used to help with things like cancer detection, but who are worried that AI is harming students’ ability to think; similarly there are people who are willing to believe that AI can be used to make certain processes more efficient, but who don’t think that AI belongs in artistic pursuits. At this point many of us have heard some version of the joke that “AI was supposed to free us from drudgery so we could spend our time making art, but instead AI is making art and sticking us with the drudgery.” One can disagree with parts of that statement (was AI really “supposed” to do that? Can you call what AI generates “art”?), while still recognizing that many people’s hostility to AI is couched in a belief that AI is intruding into areas where it does not belong."</p><p><a href="https://librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2025/06/25/do-draugveils-roses-have-ai-thorns-what-the-debate-about-a-black-metal-album-says-about-ai-and-art/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">librarianshipwreck.wordpress.c</span><span class="invisible">om/2025/06/25/do-draugveils-roses-have-ai-thorns-what-the-debate-about-a-black-metal-album-says-about-ai-and-art/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GeneratedImages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeneratedImages</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Automation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Productivity</span></a></p>
