"I have been using AI in one form or another since I began making art on computers in the 1990s. I only truly started using image-generating AI tools around 2020. But the levels of sophistication of the AI algorithms have developed so rapidly that it feels like I have moved from using a 3000-year-old ancient lyre to a Stradivarius violin in two short years."
- Jon Rafman, artist
"I felt like I was witnessing magic. Now that it’s been a few months, I’m like, ‘Well, yes, of course, AI generates anything.’"
- Karen X. Cheng, creator of Cosmopolitan's first magazine cover generated by an AI program
