On the contrary, some authors will make fun of these machines, hijack them and use them as creative material. This will last for a while, and then we’ll move on to something else. Recently, I was looking back on more than a year and a half of using generative AI to create images for this website. I realised that my own perception of the pictures that were generated was evolving over time. Initially, rather like children, we played with these tools (Midjourney and others) in an irrational way. We started producing images all over the place. Many users are still doing that today. LinkedIn is awash with these plastic images made by AI.
Half-scary, half-demonstrative Australia Email List they come in garish, stereotypical colours and are instantly recognisable by anyone with even the slightest training. AI revolution : over time, perceptions change. What used to be a game has become boring. Repetition even triggers fierce reactions from readers. Over time, you learn to abstain from using AI. I’m at this stage now. You then use this tool as one of the sources for producing images, mixed with stock photos and also more personal images, and to avoid using them systematically.
Of course, this won’t stop billions of users producing these gaudy, horrific images. But a more reasoned use of the machine can free us from these atrocities, and by rediscovering our technical skills and mixing several tools, we can find true creativity (combining, tearing apart, recombining, etc.). All this to say that the ‘revolution’ will not take place, or rather that it will take place, but certainly not to the extent that we imagine today, and provided we wait (10, 15 or 20 years) and live long enough to witness the impact and true use of these platforms. Such impact will be undeniable for some uses — like picture generation — and much more debatable for others, in particular the generation of stochastic texts.
