Popular iPad design app Procreate is coming out against generative AI, and has vowed never to introduce generative AI features into its products. The company said on its website that although machine learning is a “compelling technology with a lot of merit,” the current path that generative AI is on is wrong for its platform.

Procreate goes on to say that it’s not chasing a technology that is a threat to human creativity, even though this may make the company “seem at risk of being left behind.”

Procreate CEO James Cuda released an even stronger statement against the technology in a video posted to X on Monday.

Thefts is defined as in law. If something is stolen I.e it is not compensated for, then it is theft. You can't get around it by going "oh well technically it's transformative by a non-human intelligence" that doesn't work. The law not recognize AI systems as being intelligent entities, so they are therefore not capable of transformative work.

This isn't a matter of personal opinion it's just what the law is. You can't argue about it.

I'm impressed you've managed to go from "wrong" to "not even wrong" - that is so far from correct that you can't even conceive of the right answer. Stop being a luddite
