I think it's a fascinating development! AI's role in creating art, music, or literature opens up a whole new dimension of creativity. Here's why I find it interesting:
Accessibility: AI can democratize art by giving people who might not have traditional skills in these areas a way to create. It's like having an endless set of tools and assistants at your fingertips.
Innovation: AI can produce works that blend styles or concepts in ways humans might not have considered, leading to potentially new genres or forms of expression. It's like having a collaborator from another dimension.
Efficiency: For tasks like generating initial drafts, music loops, or visual sketches, AI can be incredibly efficient, allowing artists to focus on the more nuanced or human elements of their work.
That being said I made a song about product hunt using AI

Hi Daniel! Great question to discuss here!
I agree with John's comments, but I think it's worth mentioning here that the artists & creators whose work was used to train the AIs never gave their consent to have their IP used in this way and so are not benefiting from their commercial intellectual property rights through royalties etc.
Obviously the industry is so new, this hasn't yet been established & it's complex to development IP technology in this space (eg Youtube's Content ID tech), but as a community of Makers, I think it's important everyone is aware how important IP is to artists & creators & for developers to consider how to solve this problem.
Once IP rights are considered & protected, I think it's an exciting space & I've got a friend who's creating new synthesised works using AI, which I'm loving! Check out Luke Burton's work in this space: https://www.instagram.com/thelos...
I think it’s positive that AI allows people who are not familiar with art, music, or literature to freely create works, as it enables us to encounter a variety of ideas from different individuals.
AI producing art, music, and literature is a fascinating development, as it showcases the potential for technology to augment human creativity. While some argue that it diminishes the value of human-made creations, I believe AI can serve as a tool for inspiration, collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of what we define as art. It can help artists, musicians, and writers experiment with new forms and ideas, offering a fresh perspective while still preserving the human touch. Ultimately, AI-generated content might pave the way for new creative possibilities and a fusion of technology with traditional artistry.

I think there is no need to put AI on the purely good or bad side.
It helps people create even if they lack the tools and knowledge, so I really appreciate what AI can do. AI provides a lot and has great potential to boost creativity.
On the other hand, I'm always a little bit cautious about using AI since I feel like it also has the potential to make people lazy. As an artist, I am sure that I'll not use AI in my art. Of course, AI can be a helpful tool for giving ideas but IMO the process of creating art is different than writing prompt.
