I don't know about causing extinction, but I was having a conversation with a friend the other day about how disappointing it is that, as kids, we were promised in fiction/movies/TV that in the future robots and AI would be doing all the menial work, freeing humans up to spend more time being creative...
And instead here we are, faced with the prospect of AI doing much of the creative work, while we're left with the menial stuff.
It's unfortunate because all the creative work will be derivative trash, cobbled together from bits and pieces of other better work and then shoveled into the world as a new thing. So far, AI generated content is more elaborate plagiarism. Authors and artists should have be able to opt out of having their work be fed to these things.
100% agree! And unfortunately even if some kind of oversight or legislation is brought in now, there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle 😕
