ChatGPT, DALL-E 2 and collapse of creative process

OpenAI – one of the world's leading artificial intelligence research laboratories – released the text generator ChatGPT and the image generator DALL-E 2. While both programmes represent monumental leaps in natural language processing and image generation, they've also been met with apprehension. Some critics have eulogised the college essay, while others have even proclaimed the death of art. But to what extent does this technology really interfere with creativity? After all, for the technology to generate an image or essay, a human still has to describe the task to be completed. The better that description – the more accurate, the more detailed – the better the results. After a result is generated, some further human tweaking and feedback may be needed – touching up the art, editing the text or asking the technology to create a new draft in response to revised specifications.
