Is artificial intelligence going to replace human workers? At the moment, a lot of labour-led jobs are safe from automation, but creative jobs -- such as writing, photography, painting and more -- are at risk of being overtaken by AI. Over the past year, AI programs that generate art such as books, pictures or even videos have become commonplace. Generative art programs such as Midjourney or Stable Diffusion have seen significant pushback for stealing art styles from real humans, plagiarising their art. Despite this, new artificial intelligence programs are still being developed every day, such as the recently-released ChatGPT. But what does artificial intelligence think of its own threat to human work?

"Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?" So asks Will Smith in the 2004 movie iRobot. Of course, the answer back then was a resounding'no', however, 15 years later it's not so simple. An AI rapper has already been signed to a record label.
