Not too long ago, the idea of a HAL 9000-esque AI coming for your job might have seemed far-fetched. But with 2023 having already mass layoffs everywhere from Alphabet to Amazon to Meta at the same time that platforms such as ChatGPT and DALL·E 2 have come to the forefront of tech culture, questions are arising about just how easy it would be to apply AI in the workplace. Although a survey from Microsoft suggests that nine in ten employees in the US, UK, and Japan would like AI to take over daily tasks, a separate study from PwC estimated that 44% of workers with low education are at risk of losing their jobs to automation by the mid-2030s. Even outside of traditional workplaces, people are wondering how AI should be used in a wider context. Negative reactions towards AI art-generating platforms like Stable Diffusion and MidJourney have centred around copyright infringement. With platforms popping up that can create Drake songs from text prompts and whole novels written in the style of established authors in a matter of minutes, the intellectual ownership of these works is coming under debate. Yet for all of the concerns around the rise of AI, the evolution of technology rarely has a singular impact on human behaviour. Many people are, for instance, looking to get back to pre-internet, pre-digital pursuits, leading to potential wins for the theatre industry and sports organisations. In short, the likes of ChatGPT and Open AI may become integrated into our daily lives, but in doing so, we may also see a return to a more natural approach to the world and a new appreciation of human craft.
