If you use an AI to write an important paper, who's name should be listed first, yours or the AI's? Or do you just bury that in small print on the last page?

Dr Wildman,

Recently, some artists and image storehouses have complained about the use of their IP in the training of art-generating AI such as midjourney and stable diffusion. They argue that their IP forms a kind of digital DNA or essence that goes into the output of these tools, and that it is lessened in some way.

Do you think there is merit in this line of thinking, and if so, how does it apply to text-generating AI, such as ChatGPT? Are great works of fiction lessened by an automated tool that can trivially generate the great American novel?

We certainly do not pay for hand-crafted items of a strictly utilitarian nature when factory produced items are available cheaper. Will we see an AI equivalent of "pulp" novels that are considered separately from human-written "masterpieces"?

Thanks for your time and willingness to engage this audience!
