More and more people are getting tired of generative AI<\/a>. While “tech bros” and technologists are pursuing an ‘ends justify the means’ approach to developing artificial intelligence<\/a> and solutions at any cost, opponents are becoming increasingly vocal about their dislike for the impact these solutions have on human lives.<\/p>\n

This week, James Cuda, the CEO of Procreate<\/strong>, the design app for the iPad with over 2.5 million downloads, made clear his distaste for the technology.<\/p>\n

“I really f****** hate generative AI,” Cuda said in a video released on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I don’t like what’s happening in the industry, and I don’t like what it’s doing to artists. We’re not going to be introducing any generative AI into our products.”<\/p>\n

What’s interesting about Cuda’s comments is that they are miles away from most of the pro-AI stance we’ve seen across the tech industry, which has been all-in on automating whatever jobs and workflows they can \u2014 or at least talking up their game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Are Cuda’s comments about a potential generative AI backlash in the making? I think the answer is yes. Here’s why.<\/p>\n
