Short YouTube transcript excerpt (two speakers) discussing AI’s impact on media, journalism, and creative work. Speaker B worries that AI could enable imitative works—e.g., producing a bestseller ‘in the style of’ a living author—while Speaker A argues studying and emulating a favorite author (Stephen King example) is fair game if you create your own version rather than copying text.
I want to ask you about. How do you feel about the future of like, media and things of that nature? Is it the same as with the creative artists? Because I feel like AI is going to impact journalism, it's going to impact media. I wanted to take that best selling book and make my own bestseller book based off his way of writing. Is that fair?
No, I don't think it's. I don't think it's. I think it's fair game. Yeah. Because if I'm a human and I love Stephen King and I study his entire shit and I go make my version of that. I didn't copy what you did. I just made my version of it based on what I've learned.
