People are freaking out because for years, the central dogma was to "educate yourself, that makes you special, that makes you unique, that guarantees you a prosperois economic future" and such, and now this promise is about to be broken. People are in denial: AI is a good thing.
I agree 100% with this. Often arguments "against" AI summarize to "it is my suffering what gave my art value, so yours has none."
Bro, that's what capitalism told you. Your issue is not the "value" of AI it is the system that assigns and controls said value.
Not in our broken ass system. First we need an economic system where people want to, but don't need to work.
That better system looks more realistic now that we can have AI and robots do nearly everything. The artificial scarcity is becoming more and more obvious.
Human nature is the real issue tbh. Scarcity was always the easier problem.
if you don't have a job, you don't get paid, so you lack basic things.
if robots just did everything, and necessities (food, water, heating, cooling, etc) were free, then that would be great. unfortunately, that's not the reality we live in right now, so of course plenty of people (including myself) don't like AI.
Isn't this hate somewhat misplaced, still? Like, AI under capitalism might hurt you, but the problem is not AI.
Instead of working on core issue, many people try to ban every symptom, and it might be a very simple distraction tool.
Oh great, instead of me, a machine owned by a capitalist will produce the art! /s
