There's some nuance here. Industries such as stock photography and audiobook narration are indeed artistic forms but can mostly be replaced with AI equivalents.

- pclmulqdq 2y agoI have not yet met an AI system that can get close to what an audiobook narrator does. I assume that more audiobooks will get lower-quality narration, but narration of audiobooks is often done either (1) by the author or (2) by someone who is very good at doing a dramatic reading. The former won't be replaced because the author's own reading of their work provides emphasis and nuance that shows their intentions, and the latter is still far beyond the capabilities of current text-to-speech. AI is very good at giving you an average-quality output. Art, by its very nature, is almost always a superlative expression of something.
- minimaxir 2y agoHence the mostly: audiobooks with extra benefits as you mention will be fine, but there's a massive long tail where average output is sufficient.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoWhen you say "mostly replaced," then, you mean "grown through new capabilities." That is different from replacing the people in the industry.
