Assistant or replacement

For the following I will assume the fact that we all know that technology is advancing by leaps and bounds and that what seems impossible one day becomes a reality the next.

But even with that, we are far from being able to trust machines to run the world.

For example: let's take as an example something theoretically simple, such as the use of chatbots, even in customer service or information centers.

This blog was created, among other things, to show how we can incorporate technology into even the most complex human activities.

But I should also mention that, although I am no authority on AIs, I know it is wrong to think that a technology, even the most advanced intelligence, can take the place of a person.

They are usually designed to do their job, but one simple system crash, one corrupt file, and everything can become chaotic.

But humans can also make huge mistakes, I agree, but humans have the ability to correct themselves, however an AI cannot do something like that yet, and in case they can do it in the future, the problem is only transmitted to a chain, the correct operation must have a person in charge.

But what does that have to do with art?

Well, it is something similar, we can take advantage of the assistance of technology to create works of art,

One of the craziest things I've heard is a certain audiovisual entertainment content company thinking of replacing its creative team with powerful AI engines trained on the texts of Stephen King and Isaac Asimov for the creation of their next concepts.

In particular, I would not leave the responsibility of a creative area to any computer. And in case they tried, they would still need a person constantly reading the result and repeating processes until they have an adequate work.

And by adequate I don't mean an immediate, award-winning or highly rated success, but at least something with narrative coherence or a fluid development structure.

I won't stop them if they want to try, but the final viewer of a work of art, whether written or audiovisual, will always be critical.

If technology is made to make life easier, it can be a very useful thing.

But if they are thinking of reducing costs by substituting people for machines, I think they are forgetting a small detail.

Any machine can break down without warning and sometimes by the time you detect it, it may be too late.

Even simple maintenance, upgrades, connectivity or power problems, need someone autonomous in case of failure.
