>>12429715well I definitely don't think it's *good* that many artists will be out of a career and might no longer be able to make a living doing what they love and are good at
I am just a fatalist and inevitablist like most other AI enthusiasts. I see my own writing on the wall (software development) and simply accept it's coming. there is no stopping new technologies that do things much more quickly and cheaply than humans. the only gap right now is an aesthetic one and eventually that will start to close
this same argument applies to the dock worker union demanding the ports not be automated. things just change
I don't know the answer. UBI isn't coming anytime soon and when it does it might only just keep people from being homeless and nothing more
the only cynical answer I can think of is that the vast majority of artists and musicians weren't making great money before AI anyway so maybe this can light a fire under them and maybe many will end up making more money by changing careers or by simply caving and managing a bunch of AI drawing/song creation digispirits. idk
if the income/quality of life problem can somehow truly be solved at scale then it's much less of an issue because there will still always be a thriving human-made art community and audience
