I laughed so hard at the "10x times more productive -> do 10x more work". One simply do not have that much work to do. I used to hire people to paint my wall in a day, now with robotics I can let the same amount of people paint my wall 10 times in a day. No. How about I fire 90% of the workers and let the last one paint the wall with the same time.
Make no mistake, GPT-4 is just a beginning. Far more powerful models will come, without any compromise, without any limitations. They will REPLACE your jobs, take away your income, and you will have no choice but starve after you running out of your savings inevitably. It's not about to earn more or less; It's about winner takes it all. Also more specialized models trained at every profession will come.
Midjourney already completely knocked a huge amount of digital designers and workers out of their jobs. I'm talking about a great profit wipe which is currently happening at a lightning speed across the entire digital art industry. One successful artist often needs to spend 10+ years learning to make better art. Now it's 100% irrelevant. Every company I know is switching to Midjourney at god speed, since you do not want to be left behind. Human resources have already become a burden. You don't even want to believe how fast the entire field is shifting to this without turning back and left countless human creators with now worthless skills in dust.
But remember - the current state of Midjourney is just its early stage. I fully expect its output quality completely decimate every human artist on the earth after 1-2 years, maybe 18 months, maybe even less than that. Remember AlphaGo? It's simply on another level. You just cannot compete. Soon (1-2 years top, 12-18 months more likely) the creative industry will vanish and everyone will be forced to switch their jobs.
Yes, UBI will happen because people demanded it on Twitter. Make no mistake, there will be Zero protection, Zero alternative, Zero compensation from AI takeover. Billions of people out of a job, starve, die, while top companies take 100% of profit. This is the only possible outcome.
You have enjoyed peak capitalism. You will soon need to embrace 100% of it.
