Why bother learning violin or creating video games when AI does it much better and faster?
- satvikpendem 4y agoThis is actually an interesting question that I also see in the AI art and artist debate. The trope is that "people thought AI would replace mundane jobs leaving room for creativity, now it's automating my creative job, why even bother making art?" The answer is the same as why anyone does any hobby at all. We still run despite making cars, ships, planes, rockets that go at hundreds of miles per hour. We still play chess and Go even though an AI can beat every human on the planet. We will still make music even if AI does simply because we want to. Now, to expect to do a hobby as a job, forever (coding, art, music, whatever), that is a very privileged position to be in and most people in human history have not been that fortunate.
