Human creators stand to benefit as AI rewrites the rules of content creation

Among the AI-related technologies to have emerged in the past several years is generative AI--deep-learning algorithms that allow computers to generate original content, such as text, images, video, audio, and code. And demand for such content will likely jump in the coming years--Gartner predicts that by 2025, generative AI will account for 10% of all data created, compared with 1% in 2022. "Théâtre D'opéra Spatial" is an example of AI-generated content (AIGC), created with the Midjourney text-to-art generator program. Several other AI-driven art-generating programs have also emerged in 2022, capable of creating paintings from single-line text prompts. The diversity of technologies reflects a wide range of artistic styles and different user demands.
