        The creators of artificial intelligence programs have gotten the world in an uproar about AI. They claim it can do a number of life-changing tasks with the help of their new technology. However, many artists have been wondering what these changes could mean for them and their careers.

    

    Generative AI like ChatGPT claims to be able to write music and essays, manipulate media files, and much more all within seconds. For artists who have spent their whole lives perfecting their craft, this can be a little intimidating.

    Being an artist is already enough of a challenge to try and make a living off of, and with robots emerging in the artistic arena— you can bet it will only get much harder. A Forbes article recently tells of a work of art created by AI that even won an award at a state fair (read about that here). 

    Seeing the income and recognition that AI has taken from all of these artists, artists are fearful of a lack of regulation with this rapidly pressing technology. 

    Despite its promises of 'speeding along the thinking process' and 'giving everyone access to infinite creativity', artificial intelligence is riding the line of inhumane with the number of social repercussions it has caused so far.
