Reply to comment by Sashinii in AI Drew This Gorgeous Comic Series, But You'd Never Know It by rpaul9578

Ok, no art is not created in a vacuum but that's not the problem here.
Humans need to process the art through their senses, to the brain, then, eventually learn and apply their skills to re-create something new.
It usually takes time to become a good artist and even more so to really be original.

AI is a great technological feat but it's as good as the input fed into it.
Machine driven creation is possibly going to replace artists because of the speed of execution and the amount of works that can be created.
This only benefits capitalism at large not the individual creator.
That's where a lot of the AI community fails to really question the motives and implications behind it.
There aren't enough hours in a day to watch, play, read, listen to all the available content and people want more ?? If you want quantity over quality that's up to you I guess.

AI works similarly, except it doesn't take much real-world time to train and produce. We like to think very highly of ourselves, we are so original, we are so creative and complex... but this AI revolution is proving that we are not that awesome.

No. The output is greater than the sum of its parts. Same thing with LLM. It's something called emergence, and we don't know how it happens.

AI is not going to replace only artists, but every job we can do with a computer.

The AI community is most aware of these changes and what the implications are going to be. The clue is in the name "singularity". That's why we often talk about UBI and other solutions because we know they're coming, and they're coming faster than the world knows. We have daily discussions about it and have tried to warn everyone about it, but those who don't understand how exponential growth works frequently accuse us of daydreaming. You should spend more time here reading than writing.

Your reply really encapsulate the technocratic mindset of some people in the AI community.
It's quite ironic that without humanity there would not be any AI to speak of. Nor would there be any artworks to "copy" from.
We're not special but that does not make the AI superior or better.
No one in the Ai community here will have anything to say about UBI or whatever. We should discuss about AI but I refuse to adhere to the naive mindset that we have anything to say about how it's going to develop.
Corporations/private interests will decide. Not you or me.

Check out huggingface.

Corporations have toys from big engineering muscle, but the beauty about this moment is the huge amount of private toys opensourced and toys made open from the beggining. Eventually, we will all have toys. Even the bad guys which is the real menace, not skynet.
