#AI does not and can not create anything original, it can only make #facsimiles of originality.

As the ongoing #SAGAFTRA and tentatively resolved #WGA #strikes emphasize, a real danger of AI is its use to consolidate the work and likenesses of #humans to then replace and deceive humans with such facsimiles.
