The Impact of AI: Creating Inspirations for Creative Goodness

Ever since DALL-E, ChatGPT, and Adobe Firefly hit the shores, AI has endeavored creators with the tools and resources they need, as well as focusing on the creative process of making great content for whatever scenario effectively and efficiently as possible. With millions of AI users, it sure becomes a helpful resource for people looking for inspiration for their next big project. Some are pleased to help them get their products finished on time and within their budget, made possible by resources generated by such programs.

AI is an extension of behavior observed on the internet, including social media and forums. People have used these channels to exchange ideas informally. The people at Adobe and OpenAI saw this as an opportunity to serve the interests of people as well as providing inspiration to talented people who create content. While it has been overused over the past few years, AI has become a coral reef and library where people can find inspirations. There have been creators who have become blessed with AI to make content creation much better, and not be bound on their local geography or knowledge of subject matter. AI has empowered inspiration for writers and artists, and they have helped their products find success on the market.

In the early days of artificial intelligence during the rise of computers in the 1980s and 1990s, people had to find inspiration wherever they could, either through any form of multimedia or the world around them. If a person couldn’t find what they need to create their content, they would eventually find their ideas when they were either working on a different project, doing something else, or even when they were away from their studio, in the shower, or asleep. AI is the answer to the problem that people intended to solve during the 2000s and 2010s. It would take care of the complex heavy lifting involved, and help people focus on what’s important. With AI providing the largest library of content, it can provide inspiration with the resources to create what they need, work faster, and reach the highest of the charts. There is certainly criticism over AI-generated content, but you can take whatever is spewed apart and use it as the basis for creating new projects.

Nevertheless, there is always going to be folks who take AI-generated content without giving something back. We are referring to people who have taken content generated with AI, slapping their name on it without putting in any creative content, and putting it up for sale on marketplaces. This interferes with the core value of serving inspiration for the creative individual wanting to make the next big product. In fact, using nothing but AI-generated assets can be considered asset flipping. This has become a hugely disproportionate problem for the industry, impacting the ways for the majority of people who create content. In fact, it was the cause of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

The point of this article is to underscore the fact that AI is here to serve inspiration for the greater good. If you spot somebody in Gensokyo misusing AI-generated content, or if you spot somebody who had no creative talent and instead used AI to create their material, and uploaded it somewhere on the internet, call them out and let them know. In every direction, AI is like an accelerator for ideas. It represents the genius and inspiration for some of the most-talented people in the world. AI can give you something great, and use it wisely if you want to become great and not have notoriety up your sleeves!

In general, AI-generated content is not something you can copyright, but use as inspiration since copyrights do not protect ideas. This means you can create something entirely new from AI-generated content and it can become its own copyright-protected work.
