Chapter 1: The Rising Concerns of AI

While Hollywood grapples with its own issues, our focus here is the urgent warnings surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). The rapid development of AI technologies, like ChatGPT, has sparked a myriad of discussions, especially within a few short months.

I have a deep appreciation for technology and its advancements, but we must acknowledge the problems that accompany AI. Many of you may enjoy AI-generated art that reflects your identity. However, beneath this allure lies a serious threat to humanity. You might think I'm overreacting, but consider the potential for misuse—an individual with malicious intent could deploy AI in ways that disrupt our communities.

AI certainly has its merits, but it is flourishing in areas where it poses risks. Unfortunately, some individuals have already figured out ways to exploit it. This situation arises when advanced technology is introduced to a society that may not be equipped to handle it responsibly. We must be wary, as this technology is not going away anytime soon.

It’s not that I oppose AI; rather, I refuse to participate in trends that could jeopardize my existence. AI should primarily be the domain of skilled professionals in technology—not scammers or those with questionable motives. We must reserve its use for those who understand its implications, not for those in Hollywood.

Section 1.1: The Dangers of Unchecked AI

One of the significant risks of introducing advanced technology is the lack of foresight regarding potential consequences. AI is dangerously close to being classified as weapons-grade technology, and negligence could lead to legal battles over copyright infringement. This is a pressing concern for creative professionals, particularly in Hollywood, where the unauthorized use of likenesses is a hot topic. While their grievances are understandable, my concern lies with the artists who do not have the financial backing that many in Hollywood enjoy.

When ChatGPT first appeared, I anticipated that many would want to create images that represent their self-perception. The AI-generated art I've seen is undeniably impressive, yet we should not allow the stunning visuals to obscure the potential disasters that could arise from this technology.

Subsection 1.1.1: Copyright and Plagiarism Issues

It’s surprising that the developers of AI did not take into account the implications of copyright infringement and plagiarism, which carry significant legal ramifications. We're witnessing this firsthand through the ongoing Hollywood strike, as actors demand compensation and protection when their likenesses are utilized for commercial gain.

Let’s address the issue of plagiarism. If you’re reading this, you likely understand its definition. Some writers are considering using AI to draft their articles, which raises eyebrows regarding the future of originality. It appears that the notion of "thinking ahead" has been overlooked.

Writers should inherently know that relying on AI could lead them into murky waters concerning the infringement of others' work—essentially plagiarism. The essence of creativity should stem from individual thought, not from robotic assistance. It’s exasperating that this needs reiteration.

Chapter 2: Navigating AI Responsibly

As AI continues to evolve, we must remain vigilant. Scammers have already begun using AI to enhance their deceptive tactics—like the classic "your relative is in danger" or "I’m in jail, send money" schemes. They are now equipped to sound more credible, thanks to AI.

For those dedicated to combating these scams, I commend your efforts, but I empathize with the overwhelming challenges you face. It’s imperative that we advocate for the responsible use of AI. This feels like a public service announcement, but it is necessary for our collective well-being.

Until next time, let’s approach AI with caution and responsibility.
