We’ve been talking with writers, artists, and actors, and they’re not worried about AI’s abilities, they’re mad that it stole its creativity from them and worried that it’s now being used in ways that threaten to dry up the pipeline of creative jobs that gave many their start.
“The threat is monumental but the outcome is not inevitable,” write Caitlin Petre and Julia Ticona. “The actions that artists, audiences and regulators take in the next few years will shape the future of the arts for a long time to come.”
