In an interview published by Stratégies, the musician shares his perspective on AI as an artistic tool and the use he makes of it.

Rather than burdening artificial intelligence with dangers it has not yet created, let us evaluate the opportunities it opens up to make our world more open to art and art more accessible to all.

Artificial intelligence can now generate highly realistic images from simple text descriptions. This is possible thanks to training on millions of images and a process that gradually transforms noise into an image.

Lamuse is an artificial intelligence program that helps painters create by generating images from existing works, their visual world, and backgrounds. Rather than a standalone creative tool, it acts as a trigger for inspiration, sparking a dialogue between the artist and the machine.

AI can generate creative products, sometimes more original than those of humans, but it does not follow a true creative process, which involves intention and active reflection, characteristic of human beings. However, AI can be used to assist human creativity, by offering new ideas or feedback on originality, but its excessive use could potentially reduce our ability to think independently.

Generative AI, such as Dall-E and ChatGPT, raises questions about creativity, particularly regarding the attribution of work between the algorithm, reference artists, and the user. While AI can produce interesting works, its creativity often remains synthetic and driven by human demands, serving primarily to stimulate and assist human creativity rather than completely replacing it.

Generative artificial intelligence is transforming creation by generating works from vast databases, but it raises questions about authorship and the impact on human creators. While it can enrich creative processes, it raises concerns about copyright and the future of creative professions.
