""I recently saw a CBS Sunday video of actor Ethan Hawke saying he's "so bored" by AI, and that one thing he loves about theater is that AI can't do it. "I feel I couldn't be less interested in computers and fake things," he said. "I like people. I like the way they smell. I like the way they talk, and I like the way they think. I like to think of AI as a plagiarizing mechanism. You know, that's all it is.""
"He also said, "I know it's going to change the world, and it's screwing everybody up, and I'm not in denial about that. But I'm in open rebellion." As a writer first and foremost, I couldn't agree with him more. But as a tech journalist, I also know for a fact that AI is already changing the world, and I want my daughter to be prepared for that reality."
AI can augment children's artwork while preserving their role as the artist by beginning with original, physical drawings and using AI to enhance rather than generate complete works. Simple, hands-on prompts encourage experimentation and teach ethical boundaries around using generated content. Demonstrations can use conversational models and image-editing tools to expand ideas, add color, and iterate on composition while maintaining the child's creative authorship. Critics emphasize that AI systems reproduce patterns from existing artists' work and can raise copyright and attribution concerns. Structured, guided use of AI supports creativity, technical literacy, and responsible tool use for young learners.
