Aligns with my latest thinking as well. Even if an AI can write better stories than a human can, there are futures where human-written stories are even more valuable for all that. The supply and demand for human writers may remain good, if many would-be writers give up or never learn the craft, and there's still a niche demand for "primitive" human written stories. To me it seems like a good idea to bet on craft, albeit craft serving a niche market.

- BoxOfRain 3y agoI think you have a good point here; there's a reason that deep into the digital age there's still plenty of analogue cameras, valve amplifiers, vinyl records, and all manner of 'obsolete' things like that being made.
- kjkjadksj 3y agoThere are so many artists that thrift stores are filled with artwork. It was never about having a quantity of art. Provenance is everything. Its why silicon valley execs don’t drink boxed wine, and why ai art isn’t going to change much of the art world.
