Artificial Intelligence (AI) had already reached so deep, and it’s probably impossible for humanity to turn back to its advancements. From media, education, and even work fields, the use of AI has been heavily debated; and it’s most definitely leading to a huge challenge for all humanity.
The technological advancement these days is not just about keeping up, it’s also about ‘Will they be able to keep up?’ Not all services necessarily align with the use of AI, and not all business have the means to stay in competition in the first place. If these companies continue to fall behind, the threat of halting their service would only draw near.
One testimony for this are the companies and businesses with falling revenues. To freelancers with jobs related to media and creative content, to lose clients is easier than ever. Writers lost their jobs as clients turned to AI-made pieces of writing—potentially due to the fact that they produce materials over a comparatively short period of time than humans, who would take hours, or even days [1].
The quality of AI-generated content are still far compared to the human produced ones, therefore replacing humans now still proves risky—even if they create materials in such a small amount of time. The way this intelligence construct content is easily distinguishable, in which, flawed and mediocre pieces of compositions, art and information were presented.
Of course, it’s only going to take a few years to drastically improve these pieces and the line between the AI-generated from the human-made will blur. For now though, to fully switch to AI use as of the moment, may only prove too risky, and humans, as meticulous to their work as much as they can, is still the better option.
AI is cheap and fast, but it’s not entirely reliable. This technology can also be a tool for misinformation and a violator for copyright laws, another problem posed as its use continue to expand in a larger crowd.
A few months back, potentially thousands of media-related workers, most especially artists and writers, started to take legal actions due to the rise of functional AI. Artists getting their styles copied to ‘train’ these learning machines without their permission; and the challenge to whether or not one should embrace AI for creativity continue to persist [2].
It is true that the change occurring in the world is inevitable, and AI is just one of the tools we are going to live by soon and will be considered ‘normal.’ The use of machine learning, like all technological advancements, comes with its good and bad effects. AI is, indeed, a great and useful tool that can be used literally by anybody who can access the internet and the benefit you can get from using it would definitely help you make higher quality works.
However, to produce injustice among the pros and cons that sparked with AI proves that we, as humans, are not fully ready to be responsible for these machines. If improvement of AI is as quick as the daylight, we must ensure that speed of bettering the laws and rights also keep up in order to secure those who are already terribly affected by it. We must also understand that if this utilization of AI persist this way, more and more people from the lower working sector will only get affected terribly, while those who are in control will continue to feed off the profits made with the power of AI.
