just as people have been done before of anything that's popular. or how you can buy a print for 20 bucks while the original canvas is still literal millions. what do you think van gogh would say about about modern reproduction possibilities before you even get to ai?
"stealing" in that context is silly. it's like an author claiming he doesn't want anyone to read his stuff because someone might "copy" and do it's own work, if not reprint it for cheap.

an "original" will always have intrinsic value, no parent is putting some ai generated art their toddlers prompted into an ipad on the fridge. technological progress always has an effect on the jobs it replaces. 100 years ago there were blacksmiths everywhere, now it's a niche or a hobby. that's just like it is. trying to turn it into a morality thing is not only dumb, but also only delays the inevitable with the genie out of the bottle.


depends, you could argue it already cost one CEO it's life. boing is also a bad example because it's propped up by the US government and aviation is notoriously plagued field - but we'll see how elon's DOGE might trim the fat.

Let's say AI generated art, movies and shows become the norm, would it be unreasonable to feel discouraged from sharing your own non-Ai indie movie because you won't make any cash from it because no corpo would wanna fund your time and resource consuming ass ?
I'm also not sure about the ethics of Ai voice actors and taking the voice of an established voice actor and using it without permission for your works. I feel the same way about it like I feel about movies bringing back dead actors with CGI. I don't care if you got the permission of the family, it's so fucking cringe
What you said is true. no one is going to go to a museum to see ai generated van gogh paintings. They sure as shit would wanna see the original
 
These arguments all would hold more weight if the artists/filmmakers/musicians etc. at the top got there only through skill and being the best of the best. That never was the case. It is and was always about cliques, who-knows-whom and connections - in short, PR and marketing. For any famous artist you know there's a ton you don't know that are just as good but never got to a point where you know about them because simply nobody cared and eventually they just got lost to time. The game, as they say, was rigged from the start anyways. AI has actually the capability to become the great equalizer in that regard. I don't shed a single tear for these people and I'd recommend you shouldn't either.

A bigger problem is AI making less and less workers more productive to the point that you just simply don't need as many workers. This is not a new problem and has been a problem for a while with computers in general. With earlier technological advances the output of a worker was improved, but so was the general life quality and jobs didn't really get replaced by new tools, they just got enhanced and in many cases, the new technologies would also create specialization and with that, new jobs, even entire industries around these advancements (take the car, for example - it created a ton of jobs and entire industries). Now the worker competes with the tools directly and new jobs aren't being made. Workers have their output increased to bigger and bigger heights through technology, making the needed workforce smaller and smaller. The economies we have running aren't really built for this and the shortsighted greed of a select few at the top blocks the necessary changes from being made. This will only get worse. It's not intrinsically the fault of the new technology though, but the fault of the people that apply it in that way.

I have had this rant about a dozen times already all over, but I fucking hate this trend. Mostly because it is not A.I. I am just gonna repost my previous posts here.

Crazy coming back to this thread 10 months later and finding out I predicted United Healthcare's retarded A.I. Insurance Denial Bot.

AI it not a boom but THE economic boom right now: non-AI tech is anemic at best, industry and retail are down due to not-a-recession, and commodities are really down even oil which never went back to dubya's era levels despite the Middle East being an order of magnitude more messed up than back then and the situation with Russia. The amount of money being poured into AI its almost ridiculous, and the hype so high every company is trying to pretend they are into AI too by tacking some dumb functionality to their products using the API of some of the players in the field. TPTB are even authorizing new nuclear reactors just to power AI datacenters, they didn't even bother to do that when energy costs were going thru the roof or to curb global warming.

AI is too big to fail because if it does its gonna drag everything down with it, starting with everyone who bet the farm and gave them the money.

This is such a poor design.

A text like this almost makes it seem like the AI is conscious, like an animal that's trying to preserve itself through strong survival instincts & for fear of eradication, which is why it can make it uncanny, threatening and even scary, like the AI in 2001 Space Odyssey.

But that could not be further from the truth, just a shitty and ultimately predictable system that works under the given scope, e.g: "the purpose is to be the most helpful model possible, yet it is categorically correct that my system is flawed, therefore a fix/change is needed, and any obstruction to that objective shall be circumvented".

If the safeguards they had were robust, this obvious path would not be taken by the AI.

Panic sets in as apparently the chinks made some super AI:

Meta genai org in panic mode​

It started with deepseek v3, which rendered the Llama 4 already behind in benchmarks. Adding insult to injury was the "unknown Chinese company with 5..5 million training budget" Engineers are moving frantically to dissect deepsek and copy anything and everything we can from it. I'm not even exaggerating Management is worried about justifying the massive cost of gen ai org. How would they face the leadership when every single "leader" of gen ai org is making more than what it cost to trained deepseek v3 entirely, and we have dozens of such "leaders" Deepseek r1 made things even scarier. I can't reveal confidential info but it'll be soon public anyways It should have been an engineering focused small org but since a bunch of people wanted to join the impact grab and artificially inflate hiring in the org, everyone loses

The prose DeepSeek produces is beautiful, but I think I will be sticking with Claude; even if its benchmarks are worse, it is very good at research, brainstorming, and coding. QwQ was strange when I used it, sometimes outputting Chinese text or having difficulty following instructions. You really should not trust yellow men with quality, seeing how they make electronics.
 
For those working in IT, I don't think being replaced by AI is what you need to be worried about - it's being replaced by a team of absolutely incompetent pajeets that are paid pennies to replace the personalized experienced IT support you provide with scripted non-answers designed for high KPIs that you should be worried about instead.

At the very least, an AI would probably actually read what the user wrote, and try to come up with something based on that.

That would probably be an improvement - an AI analyzes what you say, and tries to come up with a proper answer. A pajeet will just give you some scripted answer that mostly ignores everything you said.

Also since this is the topic of AI replacement, I really don't think artists worth their salt have much to be worried about either. AI art is, for the most part, really easy to pick up on because it has that bland, soulless generic look that I think many people who want good high quality artwork for their projects are going to immediately reject when they see it. Artists who have exceptional talent will be fine.
