> I like most of the article but this is the crux for me. As I ruminate on the ideas and topics in the essay, I’m increasingly convicted there is inherent value in humans doing things regardless of whether an algorithm can produce a “better” end product. The value is not in the end product as much as the experience of making something. Exactly. People would have stopped playing chess after Deep Blue. But have they? Have world champioships lost any attraction due to Deep Blue? Do lesser number of people learn go and enjoy it because of AlphaGo? The same way, people will still be interested in art and music produced by humans. If you prompt ChatGPT: "write a book about personal experience of growing up in talib#n ruled Kabul" And there's an actual human with that experience who decides to write the same book. Is there anyone who would have bought the latter decides to read the former and not spend money? Is there a single person like that? I don't think so. The choice leans on the other side in case of stock photography, pamphlet pictures, sound effects, etc. The choice in porn (especially pictures) is blurry. We already have egirls and hent#i. However, for real art and real music, there will be just as much people paying for them as they do now.
