> Just as photography replaced painting in the reproduction of reality, AI will replace photography. Don’t be afraid of the future. It will just be more obvious that our mind always created the world that makes it suffer.
That is a pretty amazing quote.

- PeterisP 4y agoIt kind of did - the vast majority of the jobs done by painters were actually replaced; painting in general and painting as fine art continued on but the vast majority of painting which was done for mundane decorative purposes effectively shrunk away, as did most of the "portraiting" industry; in some cases people still order their portraits (e.g. the gallery of presidents) but is far scarcer and employs far less painters, as for this "job" painting was replaced by photography.
