Veronica Flores If AI's work so poorly, then what is the concern on the part of true creatives? I think many creators are concerned because AI's _can_ compete with humans. See, for example, Sam Rosen's AI generated paintings: https://www.facebook.com/sam.rosen.56/posts/pfbid02nezBdSyUWWPCSdS8iovUZnXQv484XrsAjarLSmzftT3UMzzhm4y5wiSJypNb2zBJl Voice work is also near human quality. AI scripts and videos aren't competitive with human-generated product yet, but they're not far behind. And tech firms are quite keen on replacing desk jockeys with AI. Github's Co-pilot, for example, is quite popular and many programmers credit it with making them more productive. One thing to keep in mind is that the world is not a zero sum game. There's an infinite amount of work to be done, and limited time, money, and energy. I predict that 50 years from now, people will have studios on their cell phones, but there will be even more performing artists than there are today. When recorded music was invented, people lamented the death of live music. When movies were invented, people lamented the death of plays. When cameras were invented, people lamented the death of illustration. Yet, all of those fields have as many or more performers as they did in the past. Technological improvements meant that people had both greater wealth, and more time to enjoy leisure pursuits. IMO, the same thing will happen with AI.
