That’s the “first thirty seconds” part, and the uncertainty it represents is very real. GPT-4 gets it too: Reid: What impact will AI have on creative people such as musicians and other artists?

A painter could use AI to create realistic or abstract landscapes, portraits, or compositions based on their vision or references. A writer could use AI to generate plot ideas, characters, dialogues or scenarios based on their genre or theme. On the other hand, AI could also pose some threats and challenges for creative people, such as undermining their originality, authenticity, and autonomy. For exam- ple, a musician could face plagiarism accusations or ethical dilemmas if they use AI to produce songs that are similar or identical to existing works or artists.

A writer could lose their voice or agency if they let AI write their stories for them. Moreover, AI could also create more competition 48
