D
One day, Ammaar Reshi was talking with a chatbot. The chatbot is a computer program that uses AI to think and write like humans. He wondered if he could use the program to produce a children's book. To begin with, he talked to the chatbot and got the story of a girl named Alice. Then, he used another AI tool called Midjourney to create pictures for the book. A couple of days later, Reshi completed a 12-page book, Alice and Sparkle. "Anyone can use these AI tools," he said. "They're not hard to use."
When Reshi shared the book online, not everyone was pleased. Some people thought it was creative, but artists were unhappy. The problem, they said, was not just the poor quality of the artwork (for example, in one drawing, the hands looked strange). It was the way the art was made.
The AI tool, like Midjourney, searches through millions of pictures across the Internet. It uses computer programs to copy designs in those pictures and create new ones. Think of the artists who shared their works online. Midjourney could use their works without their permission. "The main problem for me about AI is that it learns from our artwork," artist Adriane Tsai said. "They're our creations, our personal styles... that we didn't allow others to copy."
Many artists and writers are nervous about their future. Will people still pay them for their works if it can be done cheaper using AI? Some companies are already using AI instead of real artists. For example, a ballet (芭蕾舞团) used AI pictures for ads, and a comedy club used an AI robot to tell jokes. "As a writer who makes money and gets joy from writing, it's troubling to see people choose cheap AI over real human work," Abraham Black says.
Reshi thinks that there should be protections for artists and writers whose works might be used in AI. "IT companies should work with artists when creating the AI artwork," he says.
