As someone who works with very creative people, and as an assistant art director, no AI will be able to have actual talent or creativity. Why? It is not human.
I agree. I hate the term AI. It's fancy mimicry at best. There is no creativity, it gives us what it thinks we want based on what we asked it to do by mashing up whats in the memory banks.
Playing around with an art generator (Artbreeder) I found it recycles, press 'submit' often enough with the same parameters the same image comes back at you. I wonder if you compared 100 iterations of a ChatGPT response how many would be identical?
Professional writers are following developments with ChatGPT closely. It includes identifying infringing material and people who submit what they believe - not know, just believe - is 'original' work. So, right now - at this moment - I'm expecting to receive manuscripts from people who >think< that "they" wrote something when, in reality, they told Chat GPT: "I want a story about two Orcs fighting a Wizard," and they will consider it 100% their own work. Since I've identified certain aspects of ChatGPT that appear in its output, plus establishing new submission criteria, ChatGPT related submissions will get tossed.
Like a drug dealer giving away free samples to get new addicts and more money, ChatGPT will be free for now. Later, it will cost something. Just like that "free" software back in the day. You don't make Billions of dollars by giving away free ChatGPT forever.
