    Problem is, even when we get over this shit and hire the “creatives” back, they won’t be getting the same wages.

    And a lot of the money that could go to the artists is going to go to these silicone valley pricks, too. Never think for a second the people making AI like this don’t appreciate what they’re doing. This shit is custom built to steal the livelihood from artists and put it directly into their own pockets.

      You’re coming from a very selfish perspective, it’s just capitalism rotting your brain.

      Ai is being designed to help solve problems that affect billions of people, it’s already able to do amazing things that greatly improve people’s lives in many ways. You’re ignoring all of that and discounting it simply because you’re only worried about your own selfish interests, and you’re ignoring the benefit it could have on your life simply because you fear change.

      Being able to get explanations of things in your own language and ask questions is huge for people from underdeveloped regions of the world, especially for subjects like coding where documentation is always terse, technical, and always in English. Though I’ve already used it myself to help understand a German project, also projects written in coding languages I haven’t studied - and wow is it useful for languages I do know well, it’s increased my productivity hugely on my open source project. being able to do things like drop in a choice block and say ‘put these elements in a sizer’ saves so much time, dropping a line in and saying ‘what are the options for formating this?’ and it gives me direct and comprehensive answers - that could have been half an hour in the documentation.

      Of course I make open source software to help give people the tools they need to live better lives, for me the more I can create the more tools I and everyone have to improve our lives - I’m trying to move towards a better world where people don’t need to beg corporations for scraps by performing doggie tricks for them, you want to keep rolling over and eagerly giving you creativity to advertising agencies and corporate owned movie studios so they can sell more shit to the masses. Stop figuring to protect capitalism it doesn’t give a shit about you.
