Should darktable remain AI-free?

It’s not about predicting the future. We are already in the future of what you seem to call a prediction.

We already seen the declining of art, community, and human expression. So, instead, it’s about defining what matters and understanding the present in terms of one’s own core values.

Your point is indeed clear: just throw up one’s hands as a form of self-protection and remain in the bliss of endless relativism, claiming everything is just some opinion because we are hopeless to take any sort of control, nor should we try. Any attempt to define what is good or what the intention of art should be is bound to fail, and we should just enjoy whatever will be. I do have an opinion on doing that though, and it’s that it’s a rather sad place to be because it pushes our responsibilties to foster healthy communities into irrelevancy.
