PANDORA’S BOX HAS BEEN OPEN FOR TOO LONG
Last month, NLB rolled out programs such as StoryGen, which uses Gen AI to produce innovative variations of fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, as well as sessions like Children Write: Publish A Book With Gen-AI.
The writers ’ complaint raised four major problems: The social issues of intellectual property use, as some AI types are trained on copyrighted materials without authorization; the psychological impact, as rely on AI affects the development of reading skills and imagination; the chance to intellectual quality, since AI-generated functions tend toward stupidity and lack originality; and the major economic cost of AI, including its strength and resource-intensive character, which contradicts NLB’s conservation values.
Now, I may inform you that I did not read the paragraph above.
I fed the complaint letter into ChatGPT and prompted it to “do a one-paragraph description of the four concerns”. The robot spat out the data in two seconds.
Am I less of a professional blogger for doing this? May I put my name to this content if parts of it were not truly by me? And could you even show?
This is what the local artists want NLB to warn the public about- that Gen AI is very easily used to replace human energy. I agree with the authors ’ issues, but Pandora’s field has been available for very long.
The two-year-old ChatGPT is now the 9th most popular site in the world, and had 3. 7 billion sessions in October 2024, according to web tracker Similarweb. Gen AI is integrated into your Android mobile or phone. A new Google-Ipsos study across 21 states found that 80 per cent of Gen AI people use it for communications and writing.
Using Gen AI is now the rule, not the exception. The complaint is well-intentioned, but it is hard to convince people to take up on using Gen AI (especially when it is completely ).
If there is any public information to give today, it is that we people may choose whether we want to get augmented or automated by Gen AI.
