Submission Statement

One of the ironies of the debate around AI/robots replacing human labor is that people used to think it was unskilled labor that would go first. Instead, western countries are awash with unskilled minimum wage positions that are going unfilled, and it's the skilled high paid jobs that look more under threat.

This is just another indication that Generative AI is on the cusp of rapidly eating up creative work. Digital artists and illustrators must feel especially under threat by the likes of Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. There will of course be new jobs. AR/VR is around the corner and some people will make money off operating and selling services from Generative AI.

It’s more expensive and difficult to build a fully working humanoid, but they will come too.

You have several companies working on them, Boston Dynamics, Agility Robotics, Xiaomi, Tesla, etc.

But yeah, for now the “higher” jobs are the ones being replaced first.

But the cycle of new job's wont last forever it's just easy to say that now. I always disagreed with this.

Not a single company will hire a digital artist anymore. Dark times are coming for a lot of designers. Even stock photo sellers gonna go bankrupt when you are able to generate anything in seconds( if you don't mind models with 6 fingers or three hands)

Yup, soon we'll get AI web design, too, there's already preliminary tools for that. And AI can write decent-sounding articles; it's only going to get better at that.

What's it going to look like when the majority of the content on the internet is actually created by AI? It's not that humans will stop producing content altogether, but that AI can produce more content by tenfold or more. And we've already got bots steering conversations on social media.

It's just new age Hatsune Miku. Is Miku still popular? I remember my niece being into it ten years ago.

Expect to see the same rejection and backlash from musicians against AI that artists are currently doing.

Good thing that the attitude in China is so different, they will have a lot of room to grow there free of criticism as the public generally views this progress more favorably
