I worked in IT, and automation has always been the ideal scenario for a lot of things. Extending tablespaces, freeing up space in the system, creating new tablespaces, upper management always want these to be automated and streamlined. Now generative AI is the next step of that. From what I've read, there are some companies firing their developers. They only leave 1 low level developer that can work with the AI and generate code, and a high level developer than can overlook the resulting code and check.
Outside of IT, generative art are getting so good that artists are having difficulty with the competition. If you look at Golem Overlord [a hive game, and maybe terracore], they use AI generated art for a lot of their game art. I've seen some posts about movies looking into AI for writing media, and might have been one of the causes of the writers strike.
AI is the future, and the earlier we learn to adapt to it, the better.
AI doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be slightly better than the average. At some point, there will be 100 brilliant coders in the world, adding slivers of code that the AI hasn't worked out yet - until there is 10, then 1 then zero coders.
If you think about how the studios are using AI, it goes to show what they care about - profit. It isn't about making the best experience for humans. This is the same with all business. What the companies don't realize yet is eventually, AI will do all they need cheaply, but there will be no one with a job who can afford to pay for their product.
Yes exactly. Once everything is automated, and people don't have a job, what happens then. Even low level jobs like fastfood restaurants have tried self service kiosks for ordering. Some are using bot delivery. Self driving cars are getting better. Airplanes are mostly on autopilot with minimal pilot influence. In a few years, almost everything will be automated or ai generated.
I have also read a few suggestions of introducing a universal basic income/handout in the US in preparation for this. It really feels like we're heading into a dystopian future.
