AI destroying mankind has always been a theme, but it's probably not going to be in the form of a physical war. This picture generation will probably have a very negative impact on mankind. Imagination is one of the driving forces of mankind, and so is our desire to realize the things we desire. When these generators become a common thing, human imagination and intelligence will start inevitably degrading. Nobody will bother painting pictures, making music, making video games or movies, when anyone can just see and hear whatever they want instantly. And people will brobably work all day long just so come home and pay to use these generators. This has the potential to destroy mankind by destryoing the human spirit.
- lpapez 2y agoPeople have been saying the same thing about Internet streaming of music for example. It didn't destroy musicians, just changed how they make their money. Musicians today generally publish music for free, and make money from concerts and merch sales instead (the publishing platforms generate money from ads around the publishing). Nothing will change about that with the onset of AI generated music - most music is already free today, so you pay for personal experience (i.e. a concert) instead.
