This! Unironically, this.
The tragedy of the author of the post is that they expected that the product of their work would be treated like art, but it turned out their boss had different vision.
Nothing of value have been lost, because the artistic value of author's work has never been actually appreciated in the first place - but they tricked themselves into thinking it has (because of paycheck I guess).
- a_t48 4y agoThe author is also losing out on a lot of opportunities to improve themselves and aim for a higher standard.
- akudha 4y agoWhat do you mean by this? The author seems good at what they do, seems to love their craft and enjoys their work. The tragedy here is that AI doesn't need to be better than humans (at least in many cases like art, writing etc). It just needs to be "good enough", maybe 80% as good as a human. Since humans can't compete with software on speed or cost, they are gonna lose. How exactly can the author improve to a higher standard here, assuming they want to continue doing what they love, and not change careers?
- sublinear 4y agoThey could learn a skill that complements their artistry, go 100% with their visions, and sell whatever product comes out of that. The world still desperately needs art and most of what is out there, even stuff made by humans, is usually incredibly uninspired. Just like how the first time getting fired is usually a blessing in disguise, so is this.
