Reply to comment by Practical-Mix-4332 in I don't want AI to do all our jobs for us by [deleted]

My partner has taken up pottery. She's very good, but she's not the best potter - not yet, and probably not ever. But she loves it, and people appreciate her work, and she's even sold a few of her best. You can get cheaper bowls - why do you think people buy it?

They buy it because it’s unique and took effort to make, and is good quality. But how is she supposed to prove she actually put the effort in. What’s to stop people from hawking their AI products as “artisanal”?

They might, but in this theoretical world, it wouldn't give anyone anything. "Money" wouldn't be a thing, and they wouldn't be able to talk about their technique and what they've learned with their peers - which I assume would be part of the pull.

Like anything, people might lie for status, and take credit for things they didn't do - but the incentives to do so are less in the world of the future.
