Comment on Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves'

  And I don’t make my own paints either when doing art. I still agree with the basic original point:

  It is disappointing that we’re currently automating creativity far faster than manual labour. I’m angry that my art is getting automated away faster than my folding of laundry.

    The original point being:

    yea, see i just don’t like how we first automated creativity instead of like, idk, manual labor???

    emphasis mine, but this is just incorrect. Technology has been reducing the need for manual labour since the wheel and the plow.

    It’s not; you’re just looking at the beginning of automating creativity when labor automation has been going on for over a hundred years. The introduction of new tech is always more disruptive than refining established tech. Besides which, VA is particularly sensitive to disruption because every VA does essentially the same job- one AI can be programmed to speak in thousands (millions?) of different voices, whereas one manual labor job doesn’t necessarily require the same actions as another.

    Also it’s funny you complain about laundry, given how much doing laundry has been automated.
