I find the AI intrusion into creativity incredibly alarming. I could certainly see the attraction of its use as a guided tool by fellow creatives, but the specter of it as a replacement, and the problem of it learning by stealing skill... It has taken me a life time of trial and error and practice and so many, many rejections to hone my craft enough where I'm just now starting to make a living at fiction. That some industry execs could just decree to strip mine my work to teach their program how to write is incredibly frustrating. I learned a few months back that some of my fiction already HAS been utilized in this manner, along with a whole bunch of other writers. We weren't even notified, much less compensated.
And don't even get me started on AI art replacing artists who've spent years and years laboring to master their skills. It's not as though these particular professions are typically remunerative in a substantial way. Why do they want to come after them? Because they can? Because they can save a little bit of money by having a program create something? Ugh. I don't know where the middle road or the compromise is...
