In early May, something unexpected happened when Google users searched for the American artist Edward Hopper. The fact that an artificial intelligence-generated imitation of the artist instead of his real painting appeared in the first line of the search results caused controversy. Again, we are faced with a similar situation.
When users searched Google for the great painter Johannes Vermeer, known for the Girl with a Pearl Earring, the first result was an image created by artificial intelligence. This shows how Google search algorithms still can’t distinguish AI-made images.
Artificial intelligence factory fills the internet
At the time of our report’s publication, the issue seemed to have been resolved. When the artist’s name is searched, we see that only his original works come out, but a similar event is likely to happen again. The main problem is that the recognition of artificial intelligence-produced studies is becoming increasingly difficult.
If these tools are further developed in the future, we may find ourselves in an environment where most of the content on the web is created by artificial intelligence. This scenario frightens many people. According to Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who developed ChatGPT, artificial intelligence could even lead to the extinction of humanity.
