About this ebook
Once upon a time, artificial intelligence (AI) was the stuff of science fiction novels and hit movies. The average person could only imagine life with a robot companion helping complete tasks or offering problem-solving suggestions. But from virtual assistants to image generators, AI is becoming an increasingly common part of everyday life, including entertainment.
A concept that was once a matter of fiction is now helping to create the very fiction that imagined it. The entertainment industry is a hotbed of AI-based tools that do everything from writing TV scripts to creating virtual film sets to generating video game characters. In the music industry, AI can compose scores, write lyrics, and perform in the style of human artists. It can suggest your next movie or show on streaming platforms or create a playlist in your favorite music app based on your listening habits. And AI can make gaming more realistic and even personalize your experience based on previous play. But while the time- and cost-saving benefits are clear, many people worry that AI might be threatening the authenticity of entertainment by reducing the role of people and the emotion, diversity, and originality they bring. Explore the pros and cons of using AI in entertainment.
