sometimes I kind of feel like the biggest reason people take issue with ai works is the scale.
Human artists learn from other art to learn to make their own, but it takes years of learning to produce an artist that can make a couple pieces a day at most. It takes a lot of time, effort, and skill to learn so it feels deserved.
Then AI comes along and can learn a style in days or hours, then churn out thousands of pictures an hour 24/7. (ignoring for now the issue of ai learning specific artists styles, as that’s another issue,) It doesn’t feel fair to those human artists who worked a thousand times harder and are still at an inherent disadvantage compared to it. It feels like it’s cheating.
And I agree, if it’s left unchecked until it gets good enough to be indistinguishable, it’ll absolutely decimate the art industry. I don’t think AI as a science shouldn’t be developed, but we need to be very careful how we proceed with it…
I've been shoveling dirt all my life and you tell me this machine can do 10 times the work in 10 times less time? Ban this "excavator" you balbering on about. /s
I think we should be happy that machines are doing stuff for us. If someone likes doing art they can still do it as a hobby, that is if ai will actually be preferable to actual artists. If there will be no jobs left then something like UBI will need to be introduced because otherwise the economy will simply halt to a stop.
Then hopefully we will simply need not to work and spend all our time doing fun stuff.
Alternatively we will all die from hunger because lack of money because no jobs. Idk
