I Am Not Content: Dealing with GenAI's Intrusions into the Arts & Education

The Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) revolution began in the autumn of 2022, with the launch of the now-ubiquitous ChatGPT: a chatbot that could not only write and converse, but also seemed to think like a human. The advent of this "super chatbot" posed immediate and profound problems for both educators and artists. This book explores the rise of GenAI and its implications for artists, educators, and all creatives. By examining the current state of GenAI and the resistance being waged by creative professionals on the frontlines-acting through union negotiations, labor strikes, and the courts-as well as case studies of creatives using GenAI to varying degrees of success, Dr. Castagnera presents potential ways forward for those endeavoring to weather the "Fourth Industrial Revolution."
