You've seen the Skynet memes for a few years now, and with every advancement in what the mainstream calls artificial intelligence , the more the fears of the tech robbing people of jobs crop up. While the fear is not an irrational one, it's certainly not happening anytime soon. And recently, another example of just this has appeared in the news.
The report quotes part of the findings as 'whilst GenAI may simplify or accelerate certain processes, the best results and quality needed can only be achieved by experts in their field utilising GenAI as a new, powerful tool in their creative process'. But if you've been following the scene, you would know that it was a forgone conclusion.
You probably remember that time when we gave it a go ourselves - on this very subject matter at that - with impressive-looking results that don't hold up to scrutiny. Sure, the wall of text is impressive if word count is what you're after, but that's not difficult to achieve if you don't mind repeating the same points over and over. Not to mention the questionable accuracy in terms of facts.
The same can be said of AI-generated video and audio, but one can imagine that the corrective process here is exponentially longer. That being said, AI text-to-speech tools have been around for quite awhile, and used by those with vocal chord damage, or as another layer of anonymity for content creators. But with such tools being brought more into the limelight, there is an equivalent increase in scrutiny in their misuse.
