    Let’s talk again after your job is automated away, with no possibility for you to “skill up” because unlike in the 70s, this time the automation trend is starting from the top positions and the arts.

      Sorry man, my job is not under threat by ai. The human element to what I do currently can’t be replaced. I certainly use it to help me get my job done faster though.

      The threat to “the arts” is not real. Corporate, soulless art might be a less lucrative field for an artist in the future due to image generation capabilities, which is definitely an unfortunate consequence of its development, but real art still has a human value that can’t be replaced by ai. That said, I’d consider image generation to be just another tool of creative expression. Ask 10 people in a room to come up with an image with any of the image generators and you’ll see vastly different levels of creativity in their prompts. The average internet hate train is just targeting this change this time around. It’s exhausting seeing internet posters see something changing and decide to target that one thing until they get bored because their manufactured rage doesn’t actually produce anything.
