- Stephen King weighs in on AI in an essay published by The Atlantic.
- King said that he's not opposed to programmers using his works to teach AI about creativity.
- Thousands of other authors have objected to their work being used in AI without permission.
Artificial intelligence may be getting more capable, but Stephen King believes it still has some learning to do before it can successfully mimic human creativity.
In an essay for The Atlantic, the author said he wouldn't object to his work being used to teach AI programs, and he's "not yet" nervous about technology's potential.
"Would I forbid the teaching (if that is the word) of my stories to computers? Not even if I could," King stated.
