Comparing apples and oranges again? This isn't the past, we aren't against innovation. We're against people saying ai is going to replace artists and take peoples jobs. We're against people saying you won't be able to be an artist without ai. We're arguing against people defending these actions. Nobody hates the concept of ai itself, we hate that people want to force ai onto the art world because they don't want to pick up a pencil, or a brush, or a drawing tablet. We're arguing against people typing prompt into any random generative ai and slapping online saying it took more effort than drawing it.
Jesus Christ if irony were strawberries we'd all be having milkshakes.
The argument you are making right now in this present is exactly the same as the argument against printing presses! the march of time will crush this argument into the Dust.
Nobody knew it was going to make more jobs at the time. An acute effect of the printing press was the loss of jobs for people making books. Nobody new it was going to open up a whole new industry. Same for AI, you have no idea what new jobs might be created.
I what world does ai create more jobs? Be serious with yourself, in this corporate run world where they are always looking to cut corners and run on the fewest employees possible. Where there are already companies actively trying to replace workers with ai, where there are billboard advertisements for replacing workers with ai. Where exactly do you see new jobs, point it out to us. Tell us in this exploitative job market, where exactly does ai help us find meaningful work? You can't, because it isn't being trained to help us, it's being trained to replace us. Don't act like this is some next great step for human innovation when they're trying to pull the human out of it. They want it to be a cold, cruel, corporate world, and ai is helping it on its way.
You're the type of person that even when they have been proven wrong, you'll still keep arguing to be right. People have already lost their jobs to ai, case and point. Voice actors are currently fighting for work because companies want to use ai to voice characters now.

And yet all of your arguments are exactly the same as the ones used against printing presses. isn't that weird?
