ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, MS WORD…

A machine with artificial intelligence is not an artist. I explained in the article here why it couldn't be. His creativity, which focuses on the result with artificial intelligence, is automatic and lacks human phenomena, emotions, and experience. Artificial intelligence is not aware of the reality of art, human and life, that is, it does not include the activity required by creativity and human emotionality.

-I am referring here to the classic main program module of Photoshop or similar image processing programs that does not contain artificial intelligence. (Artificial intelligence modules were put into service as an add-on.)

Yes, Photoshop is a fun program created with image processing logic on a computer. Many menus and tools that have been thought out for the production process perform certain predetermined/programmed tasks. But Photoshop can't draw a portrait on its own because it doesn't have the ability to self-produce. It needs a human being to produce and forms the instrumental basis of production for the activity of the human being who uses it. In the same way, someone who does not have the ability to draw pictures can't produce something qualified, original, even if he uses the latest version of Photoshop and an advanced graphics tablet. What is the result when you ask such a person to paint/draw a portrait with Photoshop? So, is it true that such a person who does not carry the spirit of art, someone who does not have the ability to produce aesthetic works, produces something with artificial intelligence and presents it as art? Is it moral?

Let's think about the MS Word program instead of Photoshop. Can MS Word or a word processing program write poetry or short stories on its own? “No! Although there is an incredible difference and improvement between the 1983 and 2024 versions of MS Word, its basic mission and function have not changed. No matter how much the menus, commands, interface changes, its instrumental nature is the same: to enable a person to decipher his thoughts into writing. MS Word produces articles in accordance with the abilities and wishes of the person who uses it. Everyone can write with it, but not everyone can write a novel or a poem. If you ask someone who has nothing to do with literature to write a novel with the most advanced MS Word program, this will not be possible. But a novelist can write his novel with the most primitive version of the program, even with a typewriter. The MS Word program is nothing more than a technological tool that reveals a person's thoughts, abilities and culture through writing. The ability of the person, not the program, is important.

Both programs are only an instrumental basis that helps to take the path and make it visible in the desired design process with imagination, expression, search for meaning in production based on the human factor.

Just because someone knows how to use Photoshop does not mean that they will make good designs. Because an operator may also have excellent knowledge of using Photoshop or MS Word, but he cannot have the ability to create an artistic image or literary composition and transfer his own thoughts to writing.

An artist, an illustrator, a writer, whether with MS Word or with Photoshop, has a purpose and an effort to express meaning/meaning while materializing the value in his mind, that is, making it readable/visible. An artist reveals his aesthetic expressions with his enthusiasm, imagination and ability to express himself by establishing a connection with his work. By using programs according to their purpose, i.e. menus, commands, it allows them to serve their purpose as part of the production concept on the computer. We are talking about a process that proceeds only with the initiative of man. After all, an artist uses a computer as a tool in a production flow without artificial intelligence in order to reveal his work during the production process with his own human abilities, to reach what he wants to tell, to produce.

Computer software that does not contain artificial intelligence cannot self-define your thoughts and does not offer guidance suggestions, humans are involved in every stage of the output creation process, and this is the most important point, and humans have the freedom to edit, intervene, change at any time.

Such programs make suggestions for correction, not editing. These recommendations indicate the technological development of software and therefore tools. Marking the misspelled word in the MS Word program and suggesting the truth of the word or similar ones or similar meanings is a technological aid that helps a person. What he is proposing only speeds up the process. Photoshop or MS Word does not offer a method, it offers easy steps, an easy environment to the person who will apply the method. Because these programs have no idea about the content that the artist or the person who uses them will create. MS Word lacks the suggestion of creating an essay in Photoshop, just as it cannot make a content and subject suggestion, orientation about the story in the author's mind. (But in the future, MS Word self-production content, Photoshop and similar image processing programs will also be integrated with modules for self-production of compositions from different templates.)

An ordinary Photoshop user can produce images using several filters and take advantage of the random effects of filters. It can perceive the different effects of filters as a suggestion for editing. He can also make it look like he imagined the program's abilities and produced them himself, but this is not the way an illustrator or artist works. What the illustrator or artist wants to do before starting the composition is in his mind and imagination as a core. It creates its composition not by accidental formations, but by conscious steps. Even drawing sketches first and creating their drafts to start projects with a plan requires greater experience.
