The modern world has always been moving towards technological development but with artificial intelligence spreading beyond control, industries may soon be replaced by such.
A.I. has been more prevalent in recent years. A.I. can write, draw, and anything else imaginable. However, nothing made by A.I. is original. Art created by A.I. cannot legally be copyrighted.
A.I. art is an amalgamation of art created by others. According to The Verge, “Generative AI art models are trained on billions of images collected from the web, generally without the creators’ knowledge or consent.”
Aside from entering in prompts for the A.I., others have been inputting actual art created by others and shoving a filter over it. This by itself is about as bad as prompting, as someone can feed A.I. someone else’s art without consent, and the A.I. will learn off of it, while the creator remains oblivious.
Speaking of A.I. within creative spheres, the future of writing may soon be overrun by it as well. With the evolution of programs like ChatGPT, human creativity may be replaced. Writing A.I. is already a problem, especially in school settings.
Along with students avoiding assignments through A.I., other writing forms such as scripts are at risk. Part of the recent writing strikes had to do with A.I. replacing the creative writing process. Some participants of the strike have stated that A.I. should be used only as a tool, and not an all-out replacement.
To most, this may not be an issue, but if the world does nothing about this, many creative industries will become dull and lifeless. If corporations continue to push A.I. into these industries, all creative works will be devoid of passion. A.I. cannot substitute human made art.
