AI at Anamosa?

AI has shifted from being a novelty to a useful everyday tool. Students employ it in brainstorming and studying, and their work can end up in visible places, like designs on their clothes, wording of their announcements, and posters hanging around the hallway. It creates an issue that our school has not yet figured out properly. It is not about the existence of AI, but rather about its proper place, as a design, a wording, an announcement may be created by humans or by artificial intelligence.

The advocates argue that AI is a handy tool that helps budgetary clubs and teams without designers create good-looking visuals and that the knowledge of using it will definitely help students later in life. Critics argue that school apparel and announcements represent the entire student body and should reflect creativity and effort of students and teachers. Also, AI designs are made based on the work of other artists who do not receive credits, and reliance on this technology does not leave room for actual artists, writers, and designers. The compromise that some schools are trying is to allow AI in brainstorming and drafts but prohibit its usage in final products.

The game day graphic presented above proves that the debate isn’t theoretical since it was created through artificial intelligence entirely but it is still bold and polished with all of the details being displayed properly – something that a busy volunteer with free tools probably wouldn’t manage. Moreover, the graphic represents a finished project, and that’s exactly the kind of work that this compromise would prevent artificial intelligence from doing. This leads to the question of whether an art or design student could be responsible for this work instead. Perhaps the main question is who cares more about the appearance of school graphics than about their creators?
