"From steam power and electricity to computers and the internet, technological
advancements have always disrupted labor markets, pushing out some jobs while
creating others. Artificial intelligence remains something of a misnomer – the
smartest computer systems still don’t actually know anything – but the
technology has reached an inflection point where it’s poised to affect new
classes of jobs: artists and knowledge workers.
Specifically, the emergence of large language models – AI systems that are
trained on vast amounts of text – means computers can now produce
human-sounding written language and convert descriptive phrases into realistic
images.
The Conversation asked five artificial intelligence researchers to
discuss how large language models are likely to affect artists and knowledge
workers. And, as our experts noted, the technology is far from perfect, which
raises a host of issues – from misinformation to plagiarism – that affect human
workers."
