I am a theatre professional working my first non-contract, resident job at a theatre, outside of college

Now I am in a full time position, working with other theatrical designers and professionals, who are actively using AI to assist in designs. I would like to bring up to my higher up the harm in the AI usage and why there needs to be policies in place limiting (if not eliminating) its use.

That's where I need some help, if you work in the arts, especially in theater, please reply with why you believe AI should not be utilized in the workplace on any account (including marketing and management) and any solutions/alternatives you may have to its use

credible articles and papers would be most helpful, however even opinions are helpful in my forming of my argument.

I think with a good enough argument my boss would at least be willing to hear me out about this.

my biggest concern for this conversation is that i am BRAND new to this theater (i havent even held my position for 6 months) so I have no idea how to approach this topic without feeling like I am overstepping, but I would rather bring it up when it is a minor conversation (a designer using AI for details) rather than a much larger one (a designer's design was made entirely by AI)

because tumblr is the way it is, an FAQ:

When I got this job (about 6 months ago) the conversation about just how bad AI is, and its effects on the arts was still new and in my interview I neglected to ask how the company was handling this issue. its something I have noted and will ask about in future interviews

I cannot just quit this job and go somewhere else (not even talking about how terrible the job market is in the US right now) I moved halfway across the country for this job, and have bills to pay that I cannot afford without it
