HN: "We should be concerned about AI making it impossible for creative people to make a living in the future."
Also HN: "Why should I have to pay for creative content?"
- Shugarl 2y agoSteam and Spotify proves that people are completely down to pay for creative content. I also regularly buy ebooks.

- Timwi 2y agoI'll bite. We should be concerned about AI because one of its consequences in our current world is that it may make it harder for people to make a living. However, that's not a failing of AI, it's a failing of our current world. Homeless people aren't all artists, you know. Ideally you shouldn't have to be an artist, or anything else, to just be allowed to live. So I don't see a contradiction in those statements. We should be concerned about the effect of AI, but the solution is not to shut down AI but to fix our society so that the (inevitable) rise of AI won't cause starvation or homelessness. The easiest fix available to us right now is UBI.
