ChatGPT became available to the public on November 30, 2022, a date I’ve named the Curation/Generation AI Boundary (C/G Boundary). The C/G Boundary marks the transition from a time when AI was predominantly used to curate and organize preexisting content to a period characterized by AI’s capability to autonomously generate content and solutions.
September 2021, OpenAI’s original “knowledge cutoff month,” is also notable because – since then – it has become more challenging to discern content created solely by humans from that which may have had AI assistance or origination.
Today marks one year since the C/G Boundary; we’ll call this new era of human communication the “Generative Era” (GE). At 1 GE, no content can be guaranteed to be original. What will life be like in the year 10 GE? Here’s one view (through the lens of copyright law).
