Artificial Intelligence (AI) came so subtly and gradually that it has taken over almost every aspect of our world. To a reasonable extent, we can say that AI has come to stay. AI according to Coursera, refers to computer systems capable of performing complex tasks that historically only a human could do, such as reasoning, making decisions, or solving problems.
This year, I was shocked at how AI crawled into almost everything I do. It seems the whole system wants everyone to be AI-conscious. The greatest shocker was the introduction of AI to WhatsApp; you don’t have to even enter your queries into browsers; they're right there for you to access.
I must confess that I never really had an interest in AI, machine learning, or any of those fields. As a content writer, editor, and media personnel who surfs the internet for news on a daily basis, I always believe in original work, so if I mistakenly come across any AI site or search engine, I only widen my horizons of knowledge through reading. Little did I know that AI is capable of much more than that.
Recently, I came across a platform that enlightened me on the use of AI. It was there that I got to know that AI is capable of so much more than anyone can ever imagine. Kindly check this video . I actually changed the face of the Wolverine character in X-Men to mine. I can only share the picture as shown below because the video has some vulgar content. I never knew this was possible.

I came across other stuff I never thought was possible, for example, giving prompts to AI to create images that suit my content and changing not-so-good-looking designs to excellent ones, among other exciting realities.
If these were to get into the wrong hands, there would definitely be a misuse of talent, and this could be detrimental to individuals and society at large. I won’t give suggestions for such scenarios, as I prefer promoting the positive side of AI rather than encouraging negativity.
After learning a skill, either by spending time alone or with money, I believe it is just soothing and gratifying to have some sort of return or reward, either in the form of money or just appreciation. In my opinion, monetizing AI-generated content is not a bad idea because not everyone can be good at typing the right prompts or queries to get the appropriate results.
If you don’t want to pay, it’s better to learn. Although I have rendered several services to people for free, and of course, people have done the same for me, it is not always about money. But I still believe it is not wrong to monetize AI-generated content.
As stated earlier, AI is more like advanced Google; if you are good at searching the right queries on the latter, it’s as good as not being a good prompter on the former, and we know the results will definitely be undesirable. With a good prompter, the possibilities of what can be achieved via AI are unimaginable.
