(25,397 posts)Instead of publishing companies paying writers to crank out James Patterson like books, they're going to have AI write these books. It almost certainly is going to put a crunch on the self publishing market and make it even harder for new people entering the field (It's already hard). Almost certainly the business of ghost writing (which can pay well), or script doctoring, or joke writing among others are going to be less well paying jobs and harder to get into.
You're going to see Etsy artists competing with essentially big companies mass producing "original" art.
As I said, there is a very very bad side to it. This doesn't even get into coding or engineering analysis. AI is getting better and better and we humans cannot evolve faster than it. This has been predicted for a long time now. We can reasonably guess the future.
On the good side, instead of Agatha Christie's estate hiring people to butcher "new" novels of her characters, the AI will likely be vastly better at writing novels where the characters stay in the tone of an Agatha Christie novel.
