Think of it as this way:
in order to create 5 very different illustrations you need to talk with 5 people. in the end 5 people will get money when they finish with their work.
an AI consumes these artists past output and instead of paying to these artists it will gather income to the owner. So by using the output of 5 people who have spent decades on perfecting their craft, the AI generates income by stealing their work, and the money flows to the owner only, who doesn't give back anything to these people.
so in essence AI in this form kills income stream for humans, since it gives back nothing.
- theRealMe 4y agoThroughout history almost all skills have been learned/copied from other people. Especially things like art are learned by studying previous work. What specifically is the defining reason that people can learn by copying other peoples styles but ai cannot? Are we supposed to halt technological progress to avoid antiquated job destruction?
- lofaszvanitt 4y agoFor a human it takes time, it takes effort, in order to copy/learn someone's style. And the outcome is not guaranteed to be a success. There is no problem with AI, but if you generate an image with words, something like: make a painting in the style of "X artist", then maybe compensate people for their work and everybody else included, whose expertise was used during the creation of given art. So you want an image? For 5 bucks? You get an image that's worth 5 bucks, but not an image that costs 1000 dollars to make in real life. The problem here is you giving a simpleminded person access to an AI, and for a few bucks, this person can generate something that uses thousands of man years of expertise for that given work. I hope you see the potential slippery slope here.
