Whether we like it or not, the world without AI is slowly disappearing. We need to treat it as a tool, not behave like Luddites. My mother tongue is not English, and I always use translation tools. Not because I cannot express myself in English but because I want to express myself more correctly and make it easier for others to understand what I am trying to say. I also use Grammarly, which corrects my grammar.
And, well, as far as I know in this field, most translators are now AI-assisted, whether anyone likes it or not.
But, indeed, I haven't tried to generate either a story or a comment with AI. I can't imagine doing that anyway. A story is always generated in your head; AI can't replace that, but if it replaces your head instead of helping it, then your head is empty :)
I wouldn't talk about images, video, and even music right now, it's too broad a field, and not everything is so black and white there either.
I think we'll all end up as some kind of designers or creators of our worlds. (I got a flashback from Westworld 4)
There is a difference with the tool enhancing skills, and the tool replacing skills. There are people here posting content and comments that they could never create themselves, in any language, or with any skills they have. I would rather look at a crappy picture that took human time and effort, than a great image that took a half second to generate, based on a prompt.
Precisely. A lot of empty heads out there and that content, leads to more emptying of heads too. It consolidates information, homogenizes it subtly, and that influences the audience in ways that they will not feel in the moment, but looking back it will be obvious.
I don't want to look back at my life and realize I created nothing with it.
