I mean, you can still write and make art? AI isnt taking that away from you? If you're upset that its replacing you career wise, maybe you're just upset that you need a job to live and that livelihood is at the whims of capitalists?
It can be both. Why is the first thing we're seeking to automate with this current generation of ai the creative careers that humans can do?
We're not "seeking" to do anything. Ai art is a pretty logical and inevitable step in our progress in this recent breakthrough in machine learning. But we're making AI out of everything for which there is a large amount of data on the internet. The same tech that is creating AI art by stealing assets off of the Internet is also combing through sequenced DNA to find patterns and analyzing telescope data to find anomalies.
And none of this new AI tech has anything to do with robotics or ship dismantling so it makes sense that that isn't the field being advanced by it. Although I bet you could fiddle with AI to analyze data around ship dismantling to make it more efficient.
Because they happened to be the fields that got there first. It's not like these are recent trends, ELIZA and AARON are from the 1960's. But it really is just the perfect example of "They were so preoccupied with if they could they never stopped to think if they should" spread over 60 years of technological advancement.
Its another tool. For me one that has allowed me to access my creativity FAR MORE than any artistic tool previous. Did photoshop destroy photography? Did Photography destroy realistic paintings? If you dont like the tool personally, all previous artistic tools humanity has created are still available to you
edit: for those downvoting me, Pandora's box is opened, you can either adapt with the times, or align yourselves with the Luddites who burned down the textile factories when lace became able to be mass produced, and are now synonymous with being out of date with current technology
Photography actually did destroy photorealistic painting as a career. All those painted portraits you see in museums were basically the old timey version of selfies. Photography replaced that job.
As a career yes, but there are still artists whom that medium speaks to. As time marches on jobs will get replaced, and we can either try and adapt society towards not NEEDING jobs to live, or we can keep having peoples livelihoods wiped out because of advancements in tech, instead of lives improved.Or do you think we should get rid of camera tech?
You use the word upset as in there is no rational reason to care about this and emotions are invalid or lesser.
Anyway, cameras and paintings…
