'AI' should not even be a controversial subject. 'AI' does not exist, it is a tool.

I'm less worried about what 'we' task AI to do as to what 'they' task it to do. True AI technology is likely to be in the hands of terrorists before it's in the hands of photographers.

It seems like you have strong opinions about the distinction between computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-created products, as well as the use of AI in various fields such as art and photography. While it's important to recognize that different perspectives exist on these topics, I can provide some information and insights based on current understanding.
Computer-aided design (CAD) refers to the use of computer software to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of designs. AutoCAD, as you mentioned, is a widely used CAD software. Over time, CAD has become an integral tool in various industries, including engineering and architecture. It has greatly improved efficiency, accuracy, and productivity in design processes.
When it comes to computer-created products, it depends on how we define "creation." If you mean a computer autonomously generating a design without any human input, then you're correct that such a scenario does not currently exist. However, advancements in machine learning and AI are enabling systems to generate designs or products based on certain parameters, preferences, or examples provided by humans. These systems can assist in the design process, offering suggestions or generating options that humans can refine and modify.
Regarding art, the use of computers and digital tools has undoubtedly expanded artistic possibilities. While traditional art forms like painting or sculpture rely on physical tools, digital art allows for experimentation, manipulation, and exploration through software and computer-assisted techniques. The distinction between traditional and digital art can be subjective, as both involve creative expression and aesthetics. Some artists embrace digital tools, while others prefer traditional mediums. Ultimately, the value and appreciation of art depend on personal taste and interpretation.
In the field of photography, AI-powered algorithms and image processing techniques are utilized to enhance images, automate tasks, or generate new effects. While these algorithms can improve image quality, manipulate objects, or remove unwanted elements, they still rely on human input, programming, and parameters. The term "AI" is often used in marketing to emphasize advanced capabilities, but it's important to understand that current AI systems are designed to assist and augment human decision-making rather than replace it entirely.
Opinions about AI and its role in various domains can differ greatly. Some people embrace and appreciate the advancements AI brings, while others may have concerns about potential consequences or ethical considerations. It's up to individuals to form their own opinions based on their experiences, preferences, and understanding of the technology.
It's worth noting that AI technology continues to evolve, and there may be developments in the future that challenge or expand our current understanding of its capabilities.

lMy 7th grade teacher asked the class, "which direction does the earth rotate?", I knew she was looking for an answer like "from east to west". I answered. "it depends on how your look at it." The class laughed.
I was thinking, if you look at the globe from space looking down at the north pole, it rotates counter clock-wise. Looking down from space at the south pole, it rotates clock-wise.

By 'we' I mean humanity. The fact that terrorists might use it, with the leverage it affords, means that state actors will be constrained to employ it, even if they don't understand enough about it to be reasonably certain of its safety. It's no accident that some of the top scientists who literally created AI as we know it are sounding warnings about the need to establish international agreements.

On the contrary ... Photo software *does learn* from millions or billions of real photos.
Again: all this famous AI photo software, LLM chat boxes, etc. are not pre programmed to give some answer, but are simply unleashed to roam freely the internet to learn by themselves.

I believe you're hiding your head in the sand. Blaming bad AI outcomes on the programmers is an option, but it's wrong. Comparing AI to AutoCAD is like comparing Fugaku(supercomputer) to an Abacus. You can do it if it makes you feel better, but it makes no sense. You may not live long enough to see that you are wrong, but your grandchildren certainly will, as will mine.

"Up" is relative, mostly to gravity.

AI generated image seem to look like art created in the eighties/nineties using airbrushing. (You just made me think of this analogy, right or wrong)

Not always...
Made them yesterday... still not perfect, but improving.
It's just a side project for fun...
