Many are anxious about the rise of generative software marketed as "artificial intelligence": software such as ChatGPT for text, Midjourney for images, Sora for video, and Suno for music. Some have raised concerns about a loss of truth and creativity, or about whole categories of gainful employment being decimated. To be sure, we've all seen our feeds populated by deceptive images and videos and lazy AI slop. There are bound to be many other harmful uses of generative software. Some jobs will be lost, others gained. Nevertheless, I’d like to make a case, from the perspective of a creator and graphic designer, that the anxiety about generative AI is largely unwarranted.
