Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, is the writing on the wall for the creative professions?

Writers, designers, and artists are not exactly enamoured by the rapid developments in AI ‘creativity’. Within the space of a couple of years, AI-powered generators have evolved from complex research tools into free-for-all search engines of the unknown. Today, anyone can enter a set of parameters and watch as computer-generated text and images are returned, free from copyright, plagiarism, and precedent, and perhaps even containing more than a germ of original thought.

AI is effectively a mirror, sifting through the vast database of human creativity and cannily blending a bit of this and that in order to return a visual representation approaching or transcending that which we’d imagined, or maybe a chunk of text that hopefully organises a coherent set of thoughts. It comes with inbuilt biases gleaned from the source material and still suffers the occasional baffling but telling lapse of judgement or coherence.
