The Drum

A new AI-generated chatbot named ChatGPT is now raising ethical concerns regarding copywriting and plagiarism. AI-generated profile pictures from apps like Lensa AI have also become a viral sensation, and they, too, have faced criticism; artists are accusing the tech of forgery and theft, one of many conversations about how AI art has the potential to devalue work made by humans. No matter your stance on generative AI, one thing is clear: It will only continue to evolve, and as it does, its impact across business sectors is likely to be huge. Generative AI, as the name suggests, leverages artificial intelligence models to create various types of content, including images, code and text. The technology draws from existing data and content, as well as machine learning to predict the next word based on previous word sequences or to create an image based on words describing other images.
