"A common tactic by AIbros is to conflate different types of AI. When we pushback on displacing creatives by using AI generative software they love to pop in with "but curing cancer" and "saving lives". Yes we're all aware of other scientific uses for AI. This account insists it's all the same but I disagree. Maybe I don't really know what I'm talking about. This sounds like babble. "Image recognition IS image creation IS reasoning over physical space" @Stretchedwiener With only the amt of reasoning capability that exists right now we're seeing acceleration in medicine and life sciences and"

"We're not valued now. When our creativity and labor is no longer required for corporations to profit we're done. What will you use to pay for the computer you're sampling and remixing with You'll be catching rats in the server farms for company gruel like the rest of us. @Stretchedwiener You are basing value on creating an impression of scarcity. That scarcity comes from the relatively low value in pursuing this as a career. Soon all human labor is going to be replaced. At that point we are going to be valued for something other than labor. And that scarcity @Stretchedwiener You are basing"

"AI generative software was engineered by exploiting the work of 100s of thousands of creatives without permission or compensation. And then the software is being used to displace those same creatives. No other tech in history matches this. Not printing presses or cars or cameras or Photoshop. No other tech. Since "respect creatives" didn't work for you does "pay people for their labor" work"

"Companies couldn't engineer AI generative software without the work of those creatives. But they also couldn't afford to pay for it. So they just used it. They paid for everything else. Coders utilities equipment rent everything. But they didn't pay the illustrators animators painters actors singers musicians writers poets. Yet they needed them. Got to say I'm surprised and dismayed that a Christian is okay with this"

"And this is a core problem. AIbros insist that AI generative software "democratizes" creativity and gives everyone a chance to "make" music art movies books. They are ignoring the reality that a tsunami of lazy automated "one click" generated media is going to flood each and every niche. Those crafty hard working "artists who use AI" are going to drown along with the rest of us. This right here is just the start. These streaming services and distribution companies simple aren't going to need "artists who use AI" or actual human creatives. They will as planned generate their own content based"

"ChatGPT can generate prompts for Midjourney VEO Sora etc. AI agents can access viewer metrics and generate shallow requests to feed to ChatGPT then on to Sora and assemble fully automated videos with voice over and sound effects. No creativity or human input required. This is what you are arguing for and you don't even know it. You literally just called for replacing all creatives then claim that prompters are creatives too. You - "Idc if they are creatives or if they work in a factory. They are the same shit. They have a job that can be done way faster and cheaper. So we should replace them."
