Résumé : Craftspeople have a long history of integrating new tools into their workshops, enhancing their craft. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is a new technology that fits into this technological continuum, with specific characteristics linked to its digital nature. It offers new perspectives through use cases applied to peripheral tasks or co-creation. However, it also presents numerous challenges related to identity, economics, legal issues, ethics, and the environment. "Keeping control" seems to be the central issue in the relationship between craftspeople and AI, in the technical mastery of the tools and all the associated decisions throughout the creative process, but also in the control of the narrative. AI can, in some cases, be an opportunity for craftspeople, but it is above all the craftspeople who are an opportunity for AI, through their uses and their relevant interaction with the tools!
