(X) Summary This Openai Chatbot’s successful role as artist raises questions about Genai ethics and creative value. Given the potential market impact and economic consequences, it is time for human clarity on originality. Since Openai Chatgpt launched in 2022, this chatbot has wrestled its way in every other conversation with its wonders of generative artificial intelligence (Genai). This past week, an online frenzy to post photos in the animation style of Japan’s studio Ghibli, using the instrument’s use. If people do not perform their photos ‘Ghibel’- to get a photo in Chatgpt, ie and images that mimic the beautiful hand-drawn style of Hayao Miyazaki’s iconic studio, they are discussing its pros and cons. Some regret a loss of creativity and consider it an open plagiarism, while others are in prospect of art being democratized by this embrace of technology and celebrating the fun that inspires it. None of the two can win this argument, which is as old as the printing press, if not older.

It also raises questions about the meaning of ‘original’ art and what genai means for creativity. How it is resolved can have a greater impact than it may seem with the first brush. If art and creativity take a blow of Genai adoption, the imitation can run deep and wide. While the popular image of an artist continues as a person with a paintbrush and Ezel, creative industries exist everything from advertising, play, performing arts and fashion design to crafts, publication and theater. Apart from their pursuit of exalted purposes, such as bringing about a shift in the view that makes the world a better place, artistic efforts make hard economic value. Unesco estimated in 2022 that ‘culture and creativity’ account for 3.1% of global GDP and 6.2% of all employment. The creative sector holds great potential, but is also very vulnerable. This is often overlooked by investors, as UNESCO’s reform policies for creativity report notes. Often, funding decisions are made by low -empathy managers for human artists and their human motivations, thus the output of the genai that masks as art can exacerbate the earnings prospects of artists and cause job losses.

Although private patrons do exist, government financing has always been scarce in a country that looks obsessed with science and technology, leaving the creative sector in their shadow. In a 2024 UNCTAD report, India is among the world’s top -10 creative goods exporters, with $ 21 billion in 2022. While this report counts video games, some types of software and recorded media form as creative products, jewelry and fashion accessories most of the figure. Creativity is, of course, medium-magnostic. It was also born of original thinking, the very magic behind a country’s yen for innovation. For the Indian economy to perform in research and development, a premium on originality must be placed in each sphere. If the arts thrive, creativity and value generation can feed each other.

Yet the arts seem the grace of a market that is at risk of distinguishing its ability to distinguish sincere novelty, apart from a digital copy, and thus also the ability to reward the right thing. As far as originality is concerned, the claim that AI can beat people by learning more is suspicious. Chatbots spout what they were fed, and even if remix it, they do not have the spirit needed for art. True human expression stems from the polite experience of being human. In this axiom on the origin of art, no Android or AI ‘artist’ can be expected to make the cut. Catch all the business news, market news, news reports and latest news updates on Live Mint.
