Has AI Made Creativity a Thing of the Past? – Casey Dorman, Author

Has AI made Creativity a Thing of the Past? Recently, there has been an avalanche of interest in generative AI: programs that can produce text, speech, images, designs, music, and even computer code in an uncanny resemblance to human creations. AI systems, such as GPT-3, which mostly produces text, but can also produce images and computer code, or Dall-E, Stable Diffusion, or Midjourney, which produce images, are the tip of the iceberg in an expanding field that is attracting millions of users and billions of dollars in investments. The outputs of these systems can rival the quality of human products and work faster and cheaper than human writers, artists, and composers. Industries such as animated images for television and film are choosing AI artists over human ones to save time and money.
