Reply to AI is accelerating the loss of individuality in the same way that mass production and consumerism replaced craftsmanship and originality in the 20th century. But perhaps there’s a silver lining. by SpinCharm

AI will change everything but it also won’t really change anything. There will always be people that are artistic and creative and that invent new things that others enjoy. Those people won’t be replaced by AI generic rehashing algorithms any more than they were replaced by the advent of mass marketing from the last century, despite all the changes to our society that brought. Point is, like the internet, like TV, like radio, like the printing press, it will lead to great changes in our society but it won’t change our inherent nature.

Reply to A.I.-Generated Art Is Already Transforming Creative Work by Gari_305

As someone that has used computers to help me do art for decades and that implements and supports use of AI art generators and every computer art generation tool in high-end production pipelines for movies and commercials, I think these new tools are just another new and invaluable tool that expands access to the creative potential of humanity.

Of course we have to remember exactly what they are, and of course, issues of true “ownership” get complex. But those concerns are us letting the interests of money override the art itself. Word processors made everyone a writer. Camera phones made everyone a photographer. VFX software made everyone an animator. These cycles always come and go but we’ve managed to keep making all of those things and have people that find life success doing them. This will be just another tool along those same lines.

Reply to comment by Defiant_Swann in AI will reach human intelligence, not imitate it by Defiant_Swann

An airplane is not “better” than a bird at flying. It is better at flying in one specific way of going a very long distance very fast and carrying a lot of extra weight. Similarly, AI will far exceed human capabilities in very specific and limited ways, like how a lever or pulley helps us exceed our physical capabilities.
