Poznat francuski pisac i svjetski putnik Julien Blanc-Gras doživio je šokotvorno otkriće koje ga podstaklo da publicira duboko raspoloženi komentar u nedjeljnom izdanju novine *Le Monde*. Na Amazonu je našao knjigu koja nosi njegovo ime kao autora, iako je on nikada nije napisao. Knjiga, nazvana „Potpuni vodič za avanturiste: Priručnik za preživljavanje modernog putnika“, prodata je za samo 17,05 eura, što je znatno manje od cijene običnih knjiga. Ova situacija postala je simbolom šireg problema koji se tiče upotrebe umjetne inteligencije (AI) u kreativnim industrijama, posebno u pogledu krade identiteta i nepravilne upotrebe autorskih prava.
Blanc-Gras, poznat po svojim neobičnim putopisima poput „Specijalnog dopisnika“ i „Turista“, izrazio je ogroman zabrinutost zbog mogućnosti da AI modeli koriste podatke iz većeg broja radova kako bismo stvorili nove tekstove. U svom članku, napisao je da su „tehnološki divovi pljačkali njegov rad da bi ga hranili svojim AI modelima, bez njegove suglasnosti i bez naknade“. Ova tvrdnja pokazuje koliko je duboko ukorijenjen problem krade identiteta i nelegalne upotrebe autorskih prava. Prema njegovim riječima, AI je „preplavio naše ekrane“ i „sada može prisvojiti i naše glasove, naše slike i naša imena u podlim prijevarama“.
Kada je Blanc-Gras prvi put otkrio knjigu na Amazonu, bio je u šoku. Podaci na stranici pokazivali su da je knjiga napisana pod njegovim imenom, a opis na platformi navodio je da je autor „putujući putopisac“. Međutim, Blanc-Gras je naglašavao da nije nikada napisao takvu knjigu, što je još jedan dokaz da je ova situacija nešto više od jednostavnog lažnog opisa. U svom članku, napisao je: „Julien Blanc-Gras, to sam ja. I doista, ja jesam putopisac, globe-trotter. Problem je u tome što ja nikada nisam napisao ovu knjigu.“ Ovo izjave pokazuju da je njegova reakcija bila i emocionalno, i logično, jer se suočavao s realnim posljedicama krade identiteta.
Kritika je bila usmjeren na činjenicu da je svaka stranica knjige označena frazom „materijal zaštićen autorskim pravima“, što je, po mišljenju Blanc-Grasa, vrhunac cinizma. Ova praksa, prema njemu, sugerira da su AI modeli ne samo da su napravili lažnu knjigu, nego i da su još i pokušavali da još jednom „prodaju“ nešto što nije njihovo. To je postalo još jedan primjer kako AI može biti koristan, ali također i opasan, posebno kad se koristi za kradu identiteta i nepravilnu upotrebu autorskih prava.
Nakon što je Blanc-Gras podnio žalbu, knjiga je uklonjena s platforme Amazon, ali prema njegovim riječima, „sada se nudi u prodaji na brojnim drugim web stranicama, američkim, danskim i korejskim“. Ovo pokazuje da je problem ne samo lokalni, već globalan, i da se ne može ograničiti na jednu platformu. U svom članku, Blanc-Gras podsjeća na razne parlamentarne inicijative koje su ciljale zaštitu autorskih prava, ali ističe da umjetna inteligencija sada „dovodi u pitanje porijeklo kreativnih djela“. Ovo je ključna tačka, jer pokazuje da su tradicionalna prava autora u opasnosti, a da se ne može brinuti samo na nacionalnoj razini.
Blanc-Gras je završio svoj članak sa zaključkom koji je jasno izražavao njegovu zabrinutost: „Dobrodošli u doba u kojemu ljudski element nije ništa više od hipoteze.“ Ovo izjava pokazuje da je njegova reakcija ne samo personalna, već i filozofska. On nije samo tražio pravdu za sebe, već i upozorava na šire posljedice koje će proizvesti AI u budućnosti. S druge strane, njegova situacija također pokazuje da su autori i kreativci u potpunosti uočavali opasnosti koje donosi AI, ali da su još uvijek u procesu da pronađu način da se suoče s tim problemima.
U međuvremenu, mnogi su počeli da diskutiraju o tome kako bi trebalo regulirati upotrebu AI u kreativnim industrijama. Neke organizacije, kao što su Međunarodna unija autora (AUI), već su započele dijalogue o tome kako bi se mogla zaštititi autorska prava u digitalnoj epohi. Međutim, Blanc-Grasova situacija ostaje kao jedan od najvidljivijih primjera kako AI može biti i prijetnja, a ne samo alat. Njegova priča je samo jedan dio šire priče o tome kako se tehnologija brzo razvija, a da se pravo i etika ne mogu pratiti istom brzinom.
