This is the thing I really don’t understand about the AI crowd. I would be so much more supportive of companies like openai if they they were pursuing the automation of the dull tasks nobody wants to do, rather than flagrantly breaking copyright laws (the same ones that have been weaponised against normal folks) to create a pale imitation of human creativity.
Like, shit. I want a machine that will do my taxes and fold my laundry so that I have more time to pursue artistic endeavors.
The thing is - it’s not hard to automate boring repetitive tasks, and we have been doing it for decades really effectively.
But we can’t have people have free time and no worries, right?
Seriously. Why the fuck would I want a machine that draws for me? What’s next, a machine that pets cats and laughs at jokes so that I can use all my energy towards making profit for our overlords?
You might not, but someone is out there who can’t draw, or doesn’t want to put the time in to master making the art they want to see, or doesn’t want to pay fair rates for labor to put art in their content to make it look pretty for commercial purposes.
Either way, actual human artists are losing their economic leverage to make a living.
Soon, the only way we’ll be able to afford ice cream is virtually…
A more apt comparison would be a robot with ai that makes ice cream for you.
you can still draw you know
typical AI doomer
I get the waffle vs pancake debate but who doesn’t like ice cream?
it’s one of those sarcasm doesn’t translate on the internet things ;P
I see you’ve met my government officials.
