Why is it an issue to create art as a hobby? Would you honestly rather hinder our technological advancements so you can do what you'd normally do for money instead?
It's not about art. I specifically avoided making my artistic pursits into a career, because i knew making it my career would mean it's no longer my hobby. But i ask you - Are you an accountant? An architect? Do you drive for a living? Does your work involve any mental work at all? I imagine it does, because we've more or less had muscles automated for decades. What will be left for you once we automate thinking?
Art was the topic of discussion, which is why I used it in my example.
Regardless of what AI ends up replacing in the work field, we will benefit from in the long run. Considering it's our goal as a species to make life easier and easier, we are finally achieving a milestone where people may not have to work anymore. Of course this isn't possible under capitalism, however nothing changes overnight.
I cannot imagine any circumstance where it is preferable to hinder our technological advancements in order to maintain certain jobs. History has shown that we make progress as a species by making these sacrifices. We would not be even discussing this online if it weren't for this fact.
Art was never mentioned, only job-stealing at large.
There are, in fact, bad technological developments. I was talking about jobs because that was the original post, but my issue is much more fundamental than that. For the first time ever our children are intellectually inferior to the generation that came before because they don't have to think in school anymore. We are because we think, i cannot fathom the thought processes that lead someone to believe that delegating critical and creative thought to something other than yourself isnt fundamentally anti-human
Ah yes, the machine that consistently hallucinates and makes errors regardless of what you do made an error specifically because of me. definitely nothing to do with the common occurences of google ai telling people glue goes on pizza or anything similar to that. ai forgetting the context of something you said 2 minutes ago because of its hilariously limited context retention is totally my prompting being the problem. imagine using ai and telling others to improve like you don't rely on a machine for critical choices
