I wrote an extensively-linked OpEd on the dangers of AI for the artistic industry in Vine Leaves Press.
The situation is fast-evolving, but AI is already attacking the arts industry in several ways, both obvious (displacing artists and replacing narrators at Apple with AI) and less obvious (shutting down SF zines by spamming with submissions and flooding Amazon).
