>we should be overjoyed that billions of people will now be enabled to use new tools to create art, music, poetry, and literature tailored to their specific desires They aren't creating anything of the sort. The AI is creating it for them, and not to their specific styles, to a rough approximation based on the work of existing human artists that already exist in its data set. Look at the Sora AI video generate from the prompt "an alien blending in naturally with new york city, paranoia thriller style, 35mm film"[0]. It's awful, particularly in its rendition of the background, and misses on almost every element of what one can assume the intent behind the prompt was. No actual cinematographer would intentionally make this. And billions of people? Sorry? On what planet do billions of people have access to AI but not the tools and opportunity to create art on their own? Ugandans with $200 made a movie enjoyed by people the world over[1], every second of which has far more heart and actual creative value than anything AI could generate. AI isn't liberating anyone from anything, it's shackling people to centralized, corporate generators of mediocrity.
