AI is a term that has been used for many years now, but what does it actually mean? In short, AI refers to the ability of machines to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence.

#WritingCommunity WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT AI! It isn't that AI can write better books than a writer - it's that AI can produce a book we will be asked to "edit" for a fraction of an advance & don't own at the end. We need to stop this happening and we need to do that now. How? #AI pic.twitter.com/Z8YiLSL4AH

AI in music so far is neither artificial nor intelligent - it’s using programmed computers to mask the theft of intellectual property, lyrics, written works in a digital fog - snake oil salesmen feigning Artificial Intelligence to exploit human stupidity - yet again!

I had no idea that the first Artificial Intelligence in art came about in the 1960s. @natashagural ponders the meaning of art at the intersection of technology and human experience. #AI #Arthttps://t.co/rfiI7U0ZuG

First it was art theft, then NFTs — now it's an artificial "intelligence" taking bits of people's skills, soul and sacrifice to create a PNG of a victorian maid with an improbable chest or straight up child porn.

At first, we had a lot of problems with plagiarism, and then came the NFT Art idea, and now the AI.
I DON'T HAVE MENTAL HEALTH TO BE ARTIST ANYMORE
We should stop calling A/I artificial intelligence and should start calling it legalized plagiarism and theft software.

That all this "A/I" really is and all it can do.
I've written a piece on generative AI and how it is already affecting creative industries like commercial art and publishing, and the possible impact on children's books. This is a big one, because it's going to change . . . everything. #AI https://t.co/JswtZRD2fg pic.twitter.com/dTe6kuLLzI

A brief update: After going back a few times with Amazon on this issue, I was notified the books would not be removed based on the information I provided. Since I do not own copyright in these AI works and since my name is not trademarked, I'm not sure what can be done. https://t.co/F5KuK4F36X

AI *can* be used to help people.
But why am I not surprised that the most popular uses are stealing people’s creative work, and eliminating paying jobs?

#AI doesn’t “emulate” films. It’s a computer program. It has no brain, no creativity. It can do nothing without the input of our past work. And then it can only spit out an amalgamation. It spits out nothing new. It has no creativity, no ideas, nothing new to say. https://t.co/DF8oWHZryZ

I'm so disappointed, my college is using an AI program to help students improve their writing skills 🤓 and they have mentioned plagiarism prevention as one of its features 🤣

I’m furious that, with all the amazing possibilities AI could have, the minds behind LLMs settled on mass plagiarism, destroying creative jobs, and filling the internet with so much falsified sludge that it’s now unusable as a source of news.

Support creators. Support humans.
Good read from...Joseph Gordon-Levitt!? Interesting to think of AI as a technology that basically specializes in IP theft at scale. Packaging insights that synthesize data that ought to have attribution, and, somehow, payment https://t.co/cTEaAa8EqB

Artificial intelligence is neither artificial nor intelligent, it is theft on a scale even government is incapable of.

Took a selfie with friends at the Getty Museum. Friend liked the photo, wanted it to be zoomed out more, so asked Photoshop’s new AI feature to generate more content on all sides of the frame.
It did that, but it also put me in a bikini. pic.twitter.com/p6Cz6H13nZ
