RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
mimics the traditional human creative process but on a much larger scale.
One could argue 1 Policy questions related to the use of AI in content creation that all human creativity stems from a shared pool of ideas, akin to the concept of the collective unconscious proposed by Carl Jung.
John Locke's theory of property suggests that everything is initially held in common, and theories of intellectual property extend this analogy, leaving room for a non-rivalrous common pool of ideas.
A substantial training set can be seen as a digital representation of this shared pool.
While individual creators may not have the capacity to consider the Generative AI refers to the use of algorithms and machine learning to create new content, such as images, videos, and text.
While this technology has the potential to revolutionize the creative sector by enabling faster and cheaper content creation, it also raises concerns about the impact on human creativity and the potential for AI-generated content to dilute the value of human-authored works .
