All right #content people, where do you get images for your content these days? We've experimented with #AI art. But we've found open source images with a snazzy filter (like the image for this blog: https://wagtail.org/blog/gsoc-2021-wrapup/) work just as well.
Can there be a #ResponsibleAI approach to generating art? If not, how do you source your art?
We're seeing AI getting shoved thoughtlessly into software without people taking time to think about whether it's actually helping people. We think part of #ResponsibleAI is giving people the option to use as much or as little AI as they want to.
What do you think? Is #ResponsibleAI possible? If so, what do you think it should look like?
This blog post sums up our approach pretty well if you want to check it out: https://wagtail.org/blog/ai-in-the-cms-steering-the-ecosystem/
