No one really knows how this will play out, but it's still uncomfortable to think about robots figuring out how to reliably make things that look good, sound good and are full of meaning, would people still have any motivation to create? Would anything be considered good if everything is "good"? Of course things could turn out fine, I just wouldn't minimize the significance of what's happening.
- onlyrealcuzzo 1mo agoThis is already the struggle for 99% of people that would like to be artists (or athletes, or a number of things)...
- intrikate 1mo agoYes, people will invariably have the motivation and drive to create. We didn't stop playing chess when Deep Blue beat Kasparov. We don't stop swimming because boats are faster. We don't stop running, even though we can't outrun a car. Humans do these things because they are gratifying to do. It is satisfying to train for and then run a marathon. It's fun (and rewarding!) to challenge yourself to pull the image out of your mind and place it on a canvas, an invitation to the inside of mind. I don't care if The Beatles are considered a better band; my bandmates and I simply like making music together. It's fun.
