Lesson 2: Video series: What is AI? | Code.orgDoes AI have creativity and imagination?
AI has the amazing capability to generate art, images and even complete video sequences but does it have actual creativity and imagination? And how does this type of AI work? Learn more about how AI is able to generate art including images we've never seen.

What if AI goes rogue?(4 votes)
AI isn't something to be worried about! It can be used to help humans and will be fundamental for advancing technology in the future.
If you're worried about AI taking control or fighting humans, this is something extremely unlikely to happen. In sci-fi media you'll often see artificial intelligences assert dominance over humans and fight back. The AIs we run today don't actually have moveable bodies, access to weaponry, or anything like that.
AI right now is very safe, and as technology advances to the point of having physically AI robot, humans will create more systems to keep AIs under control. Remember, if you don't specifically program an AI to want to take over, it won't want to take over. The chance of an AI trying to attack humans is lower than the chance of a human trying to attack.(2 votes)
But won't ai technically be replacing writers? We already see what's happening with the writer strike.(3 votes)- Yes, AI will be able to replace writers in the future, and it already is. The thing is though, AIs are very far off of being able to write entire books. ChatGPT can write coherently up to about 2 paragraphs. A book is much longer than this!(2 votes)
- I think there needs to be a section included here that covers some of the less positive implications of AI video and images in particular (It feels a little like an ad for these companies where these significant aspects are glossed over).
E.g. mention that we are already at a point where AI generated video and images are being used to spread misinformation as news or facts.
That peoples likenesses are being used to create AI content of them without their consent (this could imply they've taken part in activities they haven't/wouldn't).
This technology is incredible, but it isn't just being used for aspirational or exciting things. That is a user problem, yes, but for now the AI has few limitations to prevent or mitigate unethical use.
Edit: I see this is touched on in lesson three but still only quite lightly without actually naming these problems. Training an ethical AI is only half of the equation — how do we go about ensuring users USE them ethically?
We need more tools to clearly flag AI generated content as being such. The average internet user does not have the skills to discern that for themselves - a problem that is only going to grow.(3 votes)
I agree this is making it seem like AI has no potential for danger, which it doesn't, for now. But people should be aware of the possibilities.(1 vote)
what if AI took over the world(2 votes)
I guess that while there is enough time and AI isn’t smart enough, only for education and stuff like that but not really feeling, humans have to act fast and stop the growth of its intelligence.(2 votes)
Whos excited for a game that takes place in an entirely ai generated world so it never ends ?(2 votes)
If AI doing art from Artists then AI not creating art, there just pictures from artists art pixels code.(1 vote)- Not really. AI art is generated by the AI itself. Every single pixel is "invented" by the AI and positioned where it wants it got go.
An art-generation AI starts off learning with a normal image with just one or two pixels out of place. It is taught to "fix" those pixels based just on a prompt. For example, if you had a slightly broken picture of a dice and you told this baby AI "a picture of a dice," it would learn to fix the image into the desired result.
As the AI learns further, it gets better at fixing more broken images. This has now advanced to a point where we can feed an AI just an image of random static, and it "fixes" it into the prompt we give it.
So, when you ask an AI to generate an image based on a prompt, it's taking an image that nobody created (a random assortment of colours) and adjusting the pixels to fit your idea.(2 votes)
- what if the AI started is own program to tack over the world.(2 votes)

I believe this is a true epiphany:
In the very near future we are going to see time jumping capabilities in the movie industry.
We’re going to see the best movies from the past rewritten with new endings because those actors from the past will be re-created with the help of AGI and CGI.
New series based on old favorites will be the new norm.
Favorite movies will have multiple endings. Viewers will have options to guide the movie through multiple layers.
Some of this has already occurred we’re going to see it on a much bigger scale very soon. In fact I believe past popular movies will be re-created with your own face on the main characters or those of your favorite people. What do you think?(1 vote)- I don't listen to Drake or any worly songs. But I knew right when I heard that voice. IT WAS DRAKE.(1 vote)
