Creators are getting backlash for using AI. I went to a conference full of those who are proud of it.
At the 'AI Creator Day' conference in Los Angeles, content creators expressed indifference toward public backlash regarding the use of artificial intelligence in their work. Attendees focused on practical applications and creative potential rather than the ethical debates surrounding AI-generated content.
Why it matters
This reflects a growing divide between the general public's skepticism of AI and the professional creator community's rapid adoption of the technology.

While some influencers are avoiding AI, creators at the event showed off their AI-generated work. Some attendees said they came to the event for a "safe space" to talk about creating with AI. How do influencers and content creators feel about getting roasted for using AI ? Mostly unbothered. At least, that was the vibe at a conference for AI creators that I attended in Los Angeles this week. I joined hundreds of creators, marketers, brands, and AI enthusiasts on Tuesday at "AI Creator Day," hosted by industry trade publication TheWrap and media brand What's Trending.
