Original survey link: https://forms.gle/7Bu3Tyi5fufmY8Vc8

Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!

Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.

People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.

Edit 2: The data has slightly changed! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they’ve gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

        Which is an issue if those artists want to copyright their work. So far the US has maintained that AI generated art is not subject to copyright protection.

          I wonder how this will play out for works that are only partially done by AI

          For instance, I know some authors are using chatGPT to help brainstorm plot and dialog, so at what % of AI use is a book “human made” vs “AI made”? If I use chatGPT to write half my dialog, is it still my work? What if I heavily edit the dialog I given, while still keeping it mostly intact?

          Its definetely going to be interesting to watch how this all unfolds, but yeah I’d definitely be at least nervous if I made my living making art right now

            Tough to say, but as an artist/writer myself, I’d still be in charge of what I want for my material. An artist knows what works and what doesn’t.

            I used ChatGPT to give me a list of character names based on the description I gave it. I usually select one from dozens of choices, oftentimes mixing and matching, or giving more information for a new list. Someone else may not care and pick the first name they see.

            Same goes with plot and dialogue. An artist will go back and forth with the A.I. to make improvements and decisions… whereas a non-artist might not know which one to pick and let A.I. do most of the work.

            Then yes, that all might come down to a certain percentage of work, like 50% or more as an example. An artist will want their own voice to be shown so they’ll have a higher percentage of their work included, whereas a non-artist won’t care and just try to sell A.I. work as their own. The artist will have more say for copyright. Proving it will be difficult however… as teachers have found when grading students papers. Artists may need to keep a lot of notes during the creative process.

        As with other AI-enhanced jobs, that probably still means less jobs in the long run.

        Now one artist can make more art in the same time, or produce different styles which previously had required different artists.
