While there are certainly some tasks for which it may be useful, one place where it is being repeatedly rolled out is creative fields like <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/x-men-become-disney-characters-001500007.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:A.I. art, which has been used to create lots of concepts;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">A.I. art, which has been used to create lots of concepts<\/a> from simple prompts, and writing. However, one author who isn\u2019t worried about AI taking his job is Stephen King.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thetimes.com\/culture\/books\/article\/stephen-king-author-77-writing-dementia-worries-interview-2w85zz6cq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Times;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Times<\/a>, King, who will see the latest adaptation of his work, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/great-theyll-never-f-king-170400268.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Long Walk, open this week;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">The Long Walk, open this week<\/a>, says that he\u2019s not giving a great deal of thought to A.I., though he admits that younger writers, like his own sons, are absolutely worried about what the future holds for writers. While the future is certainly a question, King does think that, at least for a while, people will be significantly better at creative endeavors than a computer. He said:<\/p>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I don\u2019t really care about AI. My sons [Owen King and Joe Hill] are both writers \u2026 and they\u2019re all hot to trot about AI and how awful it is for writers. I just think that it\u2019s a foregone conclusion that people are going to write better prose than some kind of automated intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/report-claims-star-trek-helping-ai-get-smarter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:A.I. is capable of taking in large amounts of data;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">A.I. is capable of taking in large amounts of data<\/a>, something which has seen the likes of Disney and Universal sue over copyright claims, and then spitting out something that fulfills the basic parameters of \u201cart\u201d or \u201ccreative writing,\u201d it\u2019s difficult to argue that what we\u2019re getting out of the machine is all that great from a quality perspective. It ends up looking or sounding as soulless as it, technically, is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There are a lot of questions regarding how A.I. will impact the film industry. Some actors, like <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/ashton-kutcher-pens-clarification-viral-193806182.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ashton Kutcher, embrace A.I;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Ashton Kutcher, embrace A.I<\/a>. Others, like <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies-one-last-things-ben-225407826.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Ben Affleck, have insisted film is a medium that will be protected from A.I.;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Ben Affleck, have insisted film is a medium that will be protected from A.I.<\/a> for a long time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That said, Stephen King does admit that there may come a time when AI is capable of writing a novel. Although he worries about other potential problems in that case. Referencing the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/news\/2495934\/back-to-the-future-and-other-great-time-travel-movies-available-to-stream-right-now\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:H.G. Wells ' classic The Time Machine;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">H.G. Wells &#8216; classic The Time Machine<\/a>, King envisions a world in which people, no longer needing to work thanks to A.I., lose the ability to even do it. He explained:<\/p>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I didn\u2019t say that. I think that once there is a kind of self-replicating intelligence, once it learns how to teach itself, in other words, it isn\u2019t going to be a question of human input any more. It\u2019s going to be able to do that itself. And then \u2026 have you ever read The Time Machine by HG Wells? We\u2019ll become the Eloi and AI will be the Morlocks and they\u2019ll basically run everything. Once you teach AI to write a novel, a good novel, it\u2019s going to be a different ballgame. I like to think that I can stay ahead of AI in the time that I have left.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Stephen King is probably right that he shouldn\u2019t need to worry too much about A.I., but the jury is still out for the rest of us. Perhaps someone with a time machine in the future can come back and give us a clue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
