But seriously, with as much of our culture that lives in cities, or baring that they live in suburbia with strict HOA/township ordinances it makes me very concerned about the education of our youth. Anymore it is all but impossible to find any teens/young adults with any form of hands on experience when it comes to tools, engines. Hell the list goes on.

[@shaggygoatboy1125]

I'm calling it right now. In the not-so-distant future, the label "made by a human" is gonna become an actual thing. A luxury label, like "organic" or "sustainably made". You'll have entire lines of products that cost extra, just because they'll have been made by real human workers. EDIT To all the people saying "the label 'hand-made' has already existed for a long time", I don't think you understood my point. "Hand-made" typically refers to the means of producing a human idea (clothes, accessories, tools, etc), it never used to refer to the idea itself, because that has always been an exclusively human domain. Even when material products are constructed through machines, their original conception is usually human-made (e.g: a fashion designer draws a new outfit, and the machines stitch it together. Or a visual artist draws up a cool picture, and then a printer prints it). But with this future shift, automation is seeping into the realm of creativity ITSELF (it can effectively supplant the designer, the writer, the musician, the painter, etc). And that is a fundamental paradigm shift in the history of our species.

[@tisbutascratch2045]

That's insane and I'm super sorry to hear that. However, I don't know if it makes you feel any better, but as a lover of literature myself, I would never buy a book created by anything that wasn't human. AI can only replicate the emotions and depth of feeling felt from writing, but never recreate it the way human can based on their own lived experiences. Human writers should always be promoted over AI - I know nobody (in my friend group at least), that would buy and read an AI book over one made by people. And I'm really hoping most people feel that way for generations to come too

Lesson number one when you run a big company: "Problems of the future, are the problems for the next CEO". Edit: I saw it at my company. They kept cutting costs at the company I work for left and right. All for higher profits. That we needed to invest in hiring new people was pushed till later. One CEO after another came and went, after creating more budget costs and getting their own super bonus for managing to cut even more in the expenses. Now we reached a point that they are so desperate for people they give you 1000 euros if you manage to get someone to work for our company. Few years ago when they already should have hired people you would get about 100 euros if you managed to find someone to work for our company. The company gets big fines as well as they are hired by the government and not doing their promised job, but the CEO five years ago didn't care, why would he? He would be long gone before the company was in big shit.

It won't just be white collar jobs that get replaced, but Blue Collar jobs are on the chopping block as well because of robotics. What happens to society when every job can be be replaced by technology and only a handful of people are needed to run it.

The machine should be able to move freely, depending on the kitchen size and whatever quirks it may have, the machine has to be able to listen to the client and cook meals it is requested of, the machine has to have the fine motor skills required to handle different ingredients and cook meals. And a whole lot of other things that is simple for a human to do, but requires technology that is unfeasibly expensive or doesn't exist yet.

It'll fall over numerous times before it has the ability to stay up right. Ai can't Copy. There is a reason they coined the term Dreaming when it comes to the images it generates. It really does have that quality and nothing is ever consistent. Its why it nearly impossible to get the same image from the same prompts which is a problem artists wanting to use this tech have run into. It's not consistent at all unless you run a bunch of other programs forcing it to be consistent. So if it can't be consistent how is that at all stealing? What exactly works is it stealing from? Because it vaguely looking like something isn't protected under copywrite and if yiu don't think ai has the right to vaguely resemble things. I don't think humans should have that right especially when we can image search by taking a photo of something and running it through Google. No reason your art should vaguely resemble someone's else's when the tools to look for it exists. If you went to art school. Guaranteed they made you paint Starry Night by Van Gogh. That to me is actually stealing. How an Ai does it. It is erases parts of the images and tries to remember it. Once it does this with enough Cars. It will know what a car looks like from all angles. Now what can go wrong with ai is if the training data had too many similar images. Like people and heavy influences it would basically be stealing. There is a band called Greta Van Fleet. They literally sound like if Led zeppelin released all of their not so good tracks. By all of yall definition. Greta Van Fleet would technically be stealing.

[@MrTurtleThief]

In the past, these innovations like the Printing Press or Textile Mill, they increased the average person's productivity and opened new careers in engineering, maintenance, and management, as well as allowing society to invest in leisure with the huge economic growth. I just cant see how AI will open up new careers, since that new career might be managed by AI as well. AIi for generating code needs an analyst to create prompts and understand context, but that it a small fraction of the current workforce, needs way more technical expertise, and might be replaced by an Analyst AI in the future. Company leads say workers will be instructing the AI on what to do, but I'm not convinced the economic growth from that increased productivity will trickle down to the average person.

[@impaledface7694]

"they increased the average person's productivity" We know AI will do this. The question will be what careers and options will be now capable for the normal person. If AI accelerates and reduces the costs of entertainment that industry will as Aba said allow smaller companies to compete easier. Then we don't have to deal with all shows having a certain bias. People can still vote for their wallet. We already know companies are tracking out internet histories and shoving that into an AI to give you advertisements. What if they track more of us and can find commonalities and go even further. I know a guy on youtube who is using AI to train people for weight lifting. Wonder if AI will get used to train robots to do manual labor jobs. AI is already in the stock market. This shit is crazy.

[@chillin5703]

​​@@impaledface7694 I don't think you get the scope. AI increases individual productivity _because_ it does growing shares of the work. As Preach pointed out at the start of the video, that often includes people's whole jobs. Eventually, that means doing _all_ of the work, and then even you, the "manager" or "visionary" behind the project, are out of a job. Repeat ad infinitum for most jobs. Most people are not going to be able to pivot. Again, Preach pointed out how making AI videos means replacing makeup artists, directors, videographers, camera people, and so on. Then remember that the entire *industry* supporting those people might be killed, so they can't just get new jobs working somewhere else with their current resumes. Beyond the set, think of all the people managing the venues, keeping it clean. Then all the people who make their money by running shops and baristas and so on by that venue. Millions of jobs gone do not come back easily. Frankly, many of these people who are now unemployed are not creative, individually driven, or able to personally take charge of their schedules. People have different strengths, and now it seems many will lose opportunities that played into theirs. That many jobs do not just, appear to compensate.

Why is it that corporations want to get rid of the creatives that literally built these great ideas and brought them to life when instead we could get AI to easily replace these bum-ass CEO/COO's that make a bunch of financial mistakes AND eliminate their bloated 7 figure salaries and ridiculous bonus checks?

[@Epic_Knight]

Well I believe there will be a backlash of people rejecting AI art, movies, comics and all that stuff. It might be small at first but it will be there. We as humans will have to gatekeep the stuff we love. That means looking up the various companies and learning if they use Ai in the creative fields ig. We might not be able to avoid them all together, like chinese goods, but we can select which ones are ok for us. Personally, I know I'll drop big corporate companies laying off people in mass to instead use AI. Capitalism is one thing, greed is another. I'll support companies who support the person, their fellow humans lol. If enough people do it, I believe we might be ok. I also hope that when we get to the time we have androids and the like in our societies; I hope that we'll treat them well enough and that we can cohabite together when the time comes.

It won’t be regulated until there’s one major AI company controlling it, then they’ll install their regulations to make sure no one can “take advantage of the tech” so for you, I’d suggest thinking outside of their box to where they aren’t looking yet and secure your future on the down low while others struggle where you are now

In relation to the concern Preach expressed at the beginning about can it create YT vids. The software to make the whole video is already here. A YT I have followed for years now has them as a sponsor, and he uses them. He enters a prompt, it creates: - the video, it even has info graphics - the audio, whether that's music or narration. Which he's trained it to mimic his voice. I'm reasonably sure he said he still has to write the script, but the actual sponsor's advert says you can just put in a topic title. So I presume it's like GPT the more instruction you give it, the better the end product it spits out. I see a lot of AI shorts now made from the same method, and being a short the prompt is probably just a sentence, if not a headline.

Why is that hubris? It is ridiculous that as a species we are actively undermining ourselves. Within our own societies we ought to be irreplaceable because humans ought to value human flourishing and advancement, over productivity at any and all costs. Ai would forever be relegated as to a tool rather than a replacement, if people collectively decided that they simply didn’t value its use in employment. I don’t want to see my fellow man being replaced by a machine so where I can I won’t fund that replacement. If something isn’t a necessity and I know that it’s been created with Ai at the cost of other employees, I won’t fund it. If everyone had that mindset we could curtail the dominance of Ai within our lives and culture.

one thing i've noticed, that will make it easier for companies to justify AI, is that ever since the lockdowns Marketing departments don't really seem to know what to do. They overdid emails immediately when lockdowns started and burnt everyone out on that, and then didn't have a plan B. Meaning you have a lot of marketing folks who are just trying to look busy at the moment while not actually producing results. With regards to how other jobs in the past got replaced (horses for cars, etc), the person specialized in that might no longer have been in demand, but they still had jobs available to them with the new industry. What new jobs are going to be created by AI? Where I'm standing, it's going to turn society in haves and have-nots, either you're doing manual labor/minimum wage jobs, or you're one of the elite with super specialized knowledge that required money and schooling. And I'm not sure this isn't by design, looking at some of the other policies being pushed at the moment.

Most art that is done as a wage work has been bland and uninspiring. Just look at the corporate art what google and the likes use. Most talented artists have always been hobbyists, and those aren't going to quit. Weirdest artist job in future will be the kind where you make new art for the AI to learn. Overall, as hard as it may sound, only worrying about the art part of this discussion is very narrow minded. Because once they can lay off most white collar jobs the economy will be in shambles if the governments haven't planned anything to do with over 30% of the population being unemployed. You can already look up crime stats of countries with high unemployment and no welfare for example. And high unemployment usually is still under like 15% for most western countries. But the problem also is that even the countries with welfare can't sustain the future unemployment rates. Not like the corporations that will save money from not hiring thousands of workers will be happy to use that saved money for taxes.
