Art is a skill anyone can learn with practice and determination, while also having low barriers to entry and the capacity for great fulfillment. This makes it dangerous and in contradiction with the interests of the elite, since workers tired of working for their bosses can learn to create art and sustain themselves on various platforms.
So of course they’d target that early on. It is no coincidence that coding is another task these AI are taking, as workers who know how to code have a lot of power, hence their often bloated incomes. Unfortunately in the case of AI making a lot of coding tasks easier, the power is not being more evenly spread between workers that code and workers that don’t, but rather being taken away from the coding workers by the elite altogether increasing their own power while taking another option of reprieve from the working class.
EDIT: spelling
Yeah, let’s get rid of the jobs of creatives/people who work for themselves and get an even larger pool of laborers for our corporations… insidious
Or alternatively
even better :)
an AI that could create something like this would be pretty useful actually
AI is pretty useful, and when people complain about AI they’re just misguided in my opinion. The problem fundamentally lies with the capitalist economic system where AI is used to put people out of work, and make them destitute. In a socialist system, there wouldn’t be a downside to reducing work and increasing automation, it would just mean that people would have more free time to enjoy their lives the way they want.
