Yes, there is absolutely no problem with artists using artificial intelligence tools in the same way as any other materials or tools that can contribute to cultural evolution and creativity.
The problem is control of the digital infrastructure needed to do this, as well as the scale of cultural production. It is extremely important to understand the difference between the scenario of a possible alliance between Nvidia and Disney to create new Star Wars series using artificial intelligence, and the scenario in which cultural artisans use artificial intelligence to accelerate and increase productivity and explore new creative fields.
That is where I have some concerns. Artificial intelligence will offer enormous advantages in several sectors. This is already the case in science, education and several professions where the actions and civil liability of the people involved remain human.
Unfortunately, it is now possible to create productions that claim to be cultural without any possibility of traceability or accountability for the individuals or organizations behind them. That is the difference.
