    Replacing an assembly line worker with a more efficient machine creates jobs as the machines need to be manufactured, serviced, designed, and replaced. Jobs are created in shipping and logistics as factories are able to create more product. Meanwhile the costs of goods go down and benefits the whole economy.

    Art is uniquely human. Art is sacred. Art created wholly by a machine with nothing but a human prompt is not art. People using AI to rip off content from existing YouTubers and reupload it with AI generated voice and script rewrites aren’t making art. People who use AI to create demented kids videos so they can steal from advertisers are definitely not creating art. Someone who may use an AI narration and AI assisted graphics may be creating something worth calling art but it’s going to be seen as lesser by everyone else.

    Hollywood executives using AI to replace extras, writers and talent are not causing more jobs to be created else in the economy, they are not causing the costs of entertainment to go down, and they aren’t making it more accessible for creatives to make it in mainstream entertainment. It is a net-drag.

    I’m not saying your opinion is wrong, just that I disagree with it on the arbitrary standard that art is sacred.

      There’s plenty of art that I don’t value the human element of at all. I don’t think any of the Corporate Memphis blob people on tech sites or the designs on a billboard are “sacred,” for instance, but they are unambiguously art. If you do these things with generative AI, I won’t regret the loss of human involvement.

      Art done to express something human will never go away as long as people feel a need to express themselves that way. Companies will hire fewer graphics designers, true, but I don’t really give a fuck to be honest.

      Ah, but we don’t yet see the repercussions of this technology. Automation initially removed far more jobs that it created, and the people it replaced mostly couldn’t benefit from this change.

      I disagree with it on the arbitrary standard that art is sacred.

      That kind of opens a completely different discussion on what should be considered “art” or worthwhile of consumption, but I get your point.
