> One still needs skill to play one For guitar players it's just skill-less button pressing. > I've actually tried it because I can't play a real guitar due to the finger pressure needed to push the strings. Excuses brought up by talent-less and lazy. Every guitar player bleeds as they learn. It's part of the craft. > With AI no skills are needed, you just type a prompt and get some result And yet people spend hours crafting those prompts, they share them. Some idiots even would like to copyright them. Clearly no skill and effort involved. Anybody can do it on the first try. Just like with pushing buttons on a synthesizer. > It's already leading to a huge amount of low effort mediocre content flooding the market that real artists will have to compete with. Exactly! Remember how every average Joe bought a synthesizer, published their "work" on homemade VHS tapes and all got famous and rich putting all real guitar players out of their jobs? If you couldn't tell by now I'm half joking. AI is probably a more powerful invention than any other previous one. But it's not unique and neither is its cultural influence.
