Content Creators in the times of Chat GPT

Most schools conduct ‘Essay Writing’ competitions. And at the Graduate level, a student has to write Research Papers. Such activities needed visiting libraries, going through multiple books, magazines, content on the web, and any other form of available content, digest them, taking notes, summarize them and produce a new content in the form of a new essay or a paper. That would mean effort of few days to couple of weeks. Now in the times of practical AI, Chat GPT will do that for you in a matter of few seconds. Why only an essay, it can write a new book on your subject.

It is not limited to text content, there are AI applications which can create images, videos, sounds as well. Earlier movie making needed many diverse talents coming together such as song writer, music composer, singer, choreographer, director and many others in the backstage. Now there are apps for each of those functions. Even a sci-fi movie can produced on your laptop. Though it may appear like lacking human touch, those applications learnt from the earlier content created by human beings. So, they cannot be too off from human world of wonder and blunders.

 

Self-publishing created many new writers (not all of them were successful anyway). Similarly, with a smartphone and YouTube account any one can create short videos and share them with the world instantly. Not all of those content creators became superstars, but it threw open the opportunity to all. But with the new set of AI tools, you won’t need to be creative, as your computer with AI applications helps to give you an idea of what all can be done. It can be a supplement if you are creative, and it can be a substitute for those lacking creativity.

 

Now the innate human talents you have fail to give you the edge you had before these AI tools came into picture. New AI tool will lead to flood of content creation. In the coming days, there will be more writers than readers, more painters than who will hoard them, many movies without watchers.

 

An author researching for couple of years to write a book will become obsolete. People will not only stop searching on Google, they will stop buying any books on Amazon too. There is Chat GPT which will offer customized text for their need.

 

While Stephen Spielberg and Disney World might remain as influencers, their movies will stop becoming blockbuster hits. There will be million versions of Lion King movie being watched only by their creators.

 

Smartphones killed MP3 players, Digital Cameras, Pen Drives, Scanners, Pagers, Fax machines and many other devices. That happened in just a decade. Now new wave of AI applications will make content creators and related professions obsolete. They will make the artists who are digital savvy very powerful in the same time. Quite similar to what the past revolutions had done, they will make the lives of a common man much easier, improving productivity. And also leave those not participating in this revolution much poorer.
