    Automating productive tedium is good.

    Automating the things that give people joy and purpose is bad.

    Signed, one of them filthy artist types

      You’re free to do whatever brings you joy once your needs are met. That’s what progress should be, not finding new ways to line the pockets of few.

        I agree with this.

        … but art is a form of communication, and even before AI ‘art’ it was hard to make oneself heard above the noise of everyone else. Now, with the complete cacophony of AI-generated art added into the mix, and it becoming more advanced and accessible all the time, how long until the only people heard are those who can pay to have themselves heard?

          I’m the wrong person to ask, but who would stop AI from drawing, writing, composing? Maybe the next form of art will be directing AI to create new work. Because it isn’t creative on its own.
