The Case Against Artificial Intelligence in Design

What good is the craftsman who doesn't craft?

At Lovably, we're taking a stance against technologies which prioritize convenience at humanity's expense.

We will not use LLM-based generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, to create designs, nor will we use it for the purposes of marketing or correspondence with clients, colleagues, or anyone else.

We all deserve to know who we're working with. We deserve authentic human connections, not the manufactured illusions of a proprietary algorithm. While theoretically impressive, we find the application of this technology under many circumstances to be fundamentally dishonest.

Technological progress in any given direction is not inevitable. Though it often trends toward efficiency, we must consider the human cost. We are responsible for shaping the relationship we have with machines and each other.

As new models with ethical training sets emerge, we hope to adopt this technology in a limited capacity, such as for proofreading letters, summarizing documents, and more effectively interfacing with human-made information. However, we promise not to use it for the creation or communication of ideas.

Steve Jobs called the personal computer a "bicycle for the mind." Artificial intelligence of this sort is often used as a replacement for the mind. We prefer the real thing.
