What are the ethical concerns of generative AI?

Imagine you have a friend who can copy your drawing and make it look like they did it, that’s kind of what generative AI does, but with words, pictures, or even music.

Now, sometimes people worry about how this friend behaves. Let's look at two big worries:

Sometimes, the friend uses your drawing without asking, that’s like copying someone else’s work and pretending it's yours. Generative AI can do that too. It might use pieces of real books or songs to make something new, but if it doesn’t give credit, it feels unfair.

Imagine your friend draws a picture of a cat, but it looks like a dog, they made a mistake! Generative AI can also make mistakes or say things that aren’t true. That can confuse people or even trick them into believing something fake.

It's like having a super smart, fast friend who helps you create cool stuff, but sometimes needs to be reminded to be fair and honest.
