Envision a reality where artificial intelligence (AI) impacts your morning run, your preferred tune, and even your doctor’s recommendations. Now, picture AI stepping into the artist’s or writer’s studio.
In 2024, the fusion of AI with our creative processes isn’t just an idea; it’s a reality. But at what cost?"
Consider this online advertisement:
“CreateBookAI is an AI-powered platform that allows anyone to easily design and generate beautiful custom illustrated children’s books in just minutes. With CreateBookAI, you can create a high-quality children’s book tailored to your specific needs without any writing or graphic design skills.”
Take note: “in mere minutes!” and "without any writing or graphic design skills!"
You know what else? The children’s picture books created by AI are surprisingly good.
The books are good to the point where I question why I bother creating, writing, and illustrating my books.
There’s no denying it’s a true dilemma. Especially when it’s almost impossible to differentiate between text and images generated by AI and those created by humans.
Should there be a requirement to label AI-generated materials? I certainly think so, which is why the AI-generated images used in my blog posts are labeled as such.
The issue of AI becomes increasingly relevant and urgent as we move further into 2024. The incorporation of AI into our everyday lives is clear. On a daily basis, almost 30% of Americans interact with AI. A higher percentage express more worry than enthusiasm about AI’s fast spread.
AI sparks a deep debate among aspiring children’s book writers and illustrators. Is it acceptable for a computer program to decide what our future generations read?
