As long as you have one that you have the rights to, while also being appropriate to the task at hand, sure. Look, I’m not defending what’s erroneously being called “AI” (it’s just seriously overdone pattern matching against an immense library of texts - an extremely significant proportion of which are of very dubious quality, which is why it gets so much wrong), but in a pragmatic sense it does have some legitimate possible uses.
Most AI is trained on copyrighted material without permission.
So if not having the rights to a photo is holding them back, then that should also hold them back from one of those AIs, they don’t have the rights either.
But you are defending it, that’s the point. You are trying to explain some kind of legitimate use that doesn’t exist. Everyone has a camera, everyone can take a picture. And if you can’t do it, maybe you don’t need one at all - that’s the most common case. Why does every bonfire or flea market suddenly need a full colour image of some distorted resemblance of said event?
I’m not defending the over-the-top hype about it, but from a pragmatic perspective it’s obviously capable of doing some things that are useful such as the flyer above. Yes, we should be very judicious in its use, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely useless.
You might not notice it, but you are part of that hype and are defending it. As I said: It’s not a requirement to have art on your flyer. But now AI cultists are making it one.
And you assume that I’m an “AI cultist” because I’m not rabidly fighting it as so many here are. If we don’t acknowledge it has some potential for some uses, then we are going to be left even further behind on the technology curve than we are already making ourselves. China is quickly taking over the leadership role from the US in so many spaces it’s dizzying. Acting like a bunch of angry mob luddites is not going to help minimize that fact - in fact, it only helps China’s aggressive moves.
You can’t be serious now. The only use we have discussed here and that you keep defending is illustrations for flyers. If anything China is gaining an advantage because people are using AI for stupid stuff like that here. So you are either kidding or trying to build a straw man.

Good to see you yet again have nothing of value to add to the discussion.
Speaking of rights:
Most AI is trained on copyrighted material without permission.
