Will AI dominate music? Probably. Is there anything that can be done to stop that? No. Even if you outlawed it in the US it won't stop it. It's coming and there is nothing that can be done. If that is a good or bad thing IDK. Most modern music is so awful that to me this doesn't matter anyway.
> but because it does crap illustrations cheaper
The work it outputs is astounding, if it was crap no one would want to use it.
>>Humans will still continue to be creative and draw and paint. That won't change.
>No, just the ability to make a living out of it, as opposed to getting a drab office or factory job will.
AI is coming for factor and office jobs too. But yes this will cut the ability to make money on it.
> Who exactly did sign up for that, and who said this is "forward" and not following it's "holding back"?
It doesn't matter what someone signs up for. That's not how the world works. More efficient processes take over less efficient ones. Paying someone 7k to work on something for 2 weeks is much less efficient than generating a similar image in 2 minutes for 25 cents.
Few people are going to be so enamored with the image that it would matter if it's not quite as good (though it may be better).
> Not every BS we invent is a possitive. Nor is "increased technology" == "better".
Anything that increases efficiency without hurting people is a good thing and it's why we enjoy the quality of living we do now.
- dumbo-octopus 3y ago> without hurting people What is your metric for "hurt" here? Direct, acute, physical pain? What about chronic depression resulting from lack of gainful employment?
- DoesntMatter22 3y agoThat's the price to pay for all the technological advancements we've had. These people will find other gainful employment
- dumbo-octopus 3y agoTell that to the current depression epidemic. The fact of the matter is people are sick and technology is to blame.
- DoesntMatter22 3y agoI didn't say that all technology is beneficial. I think smart phones have been a disaster for society overall. They have brought a lot of productivity gains but has been a double edged sword. Same for the internet too. Lots of benefits but now all the nut jobs can congregate and share conspiracy theories and the youth is exposed to a lot of insane stuff a much younger age. I mean stuff that guys from the 50's never saw in all their life. So yeah technology can definitely be bad. But as far as productivity gains you can't stop it and the freight train is coming. It will bring a higher quality of life in practical terms but who knows what it does to society.
