Vine Deloria Jr has a great quote about profane vs sacred.
By that metric, isnât it colossally stupid to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to replace fields where the supply of people willing to do the job for next to nothing vastly outnumbers the amount of paying clients? Unless youâre some kind of evil tech sociopath on a quest to destroy culture.
Like a lot of things happening the world today, maybe the cruelty is the point. Itâs not just to save a few bucks from not having to hire illustrators, writers, and composers, itâs fully intended to be a massive middle finger to the arts from the stemlords.

My hope is that AI completely devalues digital platforms and we all put our fucking phones down

yes, just like mumble rap brought back interest into people actually being able to rap⌠if everything AI reaches itâs saturation point hopefully everything that is not AI will be easier to reach⌠Maybe AI Art will get an official AA tag, like the parental discretion tags, and maybe theyâll even add captions like âthis movie, album, or work of art was prompted into existence by your uncle marvin while he was making meatloaf this afternoonâ
We are decades away from AI being the âthreatâ people perceive.
If you are worried about future generations,
Were you dreaming of your children
-
slaving away until their mid thirties in some business consultancy or law firm doing menial work creating powerpoints?
-
having a hobby emulating Richie Hawtin and GAS-splurging on hardware and software, but still being bedroom copycats?
-
writing another dreadful romcom movie script with dreams of hollywood?
-
clicking away in photoshop making media for websites?
rest easy.
AI will kill that off.
The next generationâs career/vocation entry point will be as intelligent, emotional, creative humans, pushing real envelopes into the future that donât think like backward looking robots.
AI is here to save us, and mop up the inane, futile derivative lives weâve been slaving away at over the past 30 years as corporate cannon-fodder infront of excel, powerpoint, daws⌠endlessly re-iterating over the works of others.
Those whining about AI are admitting they derive all their creativity from imitating the same historic material AI does

How are those who are in charge of bringing you AI going to revolutionize everything while simultaneously mopping themselves up?
I donât think that is how credibility works.
so then what good is AI if thatâs what it does⌠?
it performs all the donkey work
⌠the twenty year old of the future can ideate, design, create, program, market, sell and support a product idea they have, without the corporate overlords telling them they need a decade in the trenches before they are a credible middle manager
sounds like donkeys are going on the extinction list
you mean the purveyors of AI

True, if oneâs ambition was to be a donkey, the future is looking more challenging
I do dislike the look of rush hour in major cities with the energy of youth packaged into business suits, tens of thousands of creative souls running to their office to open their computer screen for 9 hours.
If AI breaks that model, is it to be feared?
You mean if âBig Corpâ owns âMega Brainâ and humans are no longer needed?
Au contraire, they need to sell to somebody.
A wealthy, populous consumer class is always needed.
itâs the Models that youâre not talking about that should be fearedâŚ
which is the usual case with our species, the devil is in the details.
Even in pharmaceutical commercials there is some too small to read fine print and a chipmunk telling you what the side effects are⌠people promoting Ai canât even go so far as to make those gestures⌠thatâs telling in itself.
The internet was the same, there were no consumer warnings about what it could lead to âŚ
but people arenât afraid to talk about all the bad that the internet does eitherâŚ
show me someone promoting Ai telling the whole truth about it
yeah, but we shouldnât wait for others to tell us what to thinlk
We are the they.
the same applies
so tell us the truth then, as you are the they
