I’m not a huge AI fan but I think using it to visualize the bizarre shit that people would draw if they could is a good application. Just don’t use it to put people out of work without compensation.
Why shouldn’t artists have to find other work if their primary work is unnecessary? Not saying AI is good enough to replace them yet, but when it is, why shouldn’t it? Free people’s time for more worthwhile endeavours, no point being payed to do something that can be automated - besides for niche circumstances, such as artisans. But most artists today are employed doing soul-breaking tasks like graphic design for ads, and if AI can free people from that, I’d be all for it. Why wouldn’t you?
I agree with you, 100%. I absolutely would, just not without compensation. I’m a big ol’ dirty lefty. I believe if we lose jobs to increased efficiency or automation, all society should benefit, not just the rich, and those who have lost those jobs shouldn’t just be kicked to the curb as they so commonly are.
