Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, defended the use of AI in creative processes, following criticism over AI-generated art imitating Studio Ghibli's style. In a YouTube interview, he emphasized that AI tools have democratized creativity, making it easier for individuals to express themselves. He reflected on how, in the past, artistic expression required complex technology and distribution methods, contrasting that with today’s accessibility via smartphones. Although he acknowledged the ongoing debates surrounding copyright and the nature of art, Altman asserts that the benefits of increased creative access significantly outweigh any drawbacks, suggesting a positive societal impact.
"Giving everyone more tools, making things easier, lowering the barriers to entry... does significantly increase the number of people that can contribute to society, and we all benefit from that, overall."
"Now, with just a smartphone and an idea, anyone can publish something meaningful. If they have something interesting to say, they get it out there, and the world benefits from that."
