AI has sparked concerns about the future of creative jobs, with OpenAI CTO Mira Murati acknowledging that certain roles may be eliminated. Since the introduction of ChatGPT and other AI chatbots, there has been a growing discussion about the potential impact on human employment. Murati specifically highlighted that AI would target jobs that perhaps shouldn’t have existed in the first place, particularly in the creative field.
The rise of AI-powered tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E, which can generate creative outputs such as images based on natural language prompts, has raised questions about the necessity of certain creative roles. Murati emphasized that while AI technology could lead to job displacements in the creative industry, it also prompts a critical examination of whether these jobs were truly essential. Her remarks were made during an interview with Fortune Magazine, coinciding with ongoing debates within the entertainment industry regarding the influence of AI on various aspects of the field. Notably, in 2023, there were protests from screenwriters and actors in Hollywood expressing concerns about the use of AI.
