If you use auto-tune, you can’t call yourself a singer; Elvis, The Beatles, The Bangles, Heart, and Pat Benatar did not use auto-tune. If you use AI to create stunning pictures, you can’t call yourself an artist; Rembrandt and Picasso had only their art supplies and their talent. If you use AI to doctor your photographs, you can’t can’t call yourself a photographer. Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson had only their cameras. If you use AI in your so-called professional writing, you aren’t a writer. As a novelist myself, I shall never use AI in any way in the creation of my works. And here’s something else to ponder: If your dream is to write screenplays or songs, even poetry, AI may become your stumbling block. Members of the writing guild beware. If they can use AI to write stories they won’t have to pay a writer. While AI has many useful applications, if we as artists don’t remain vigilant, content creators with genuine talent just may find themselves outside looking in. I am opposed to the use of AI in art of any kind.
