[@Chinesetakeout382]

Part of the issue though is that these issues are a lot deeper than just irresponsible family. even if the parents want to stop this, we are well past the days where one parent can always be around to actually take care of the kids. For most families nowadays, one income cannot support a family. It’s simply not possible to always monitor your kids anymore and daycare isn’t something a lot of people can afford. On top of that, suburbanization has actually isolated us way more than ever and they can’t even go outside anymore. The problem is that we need a complete overhaul of a lot of the way the world works. But the political will just doesn’t exist.

And when you separate the result from the work it takes to get there; all you have is the fleeting instantaneous dopamine boosts So you got a userbase of mostly casual mfs who will get bored of the stuff and move on some day cause It won’t fill the whole inside. And on the other, you got rich asshats that don’t know the first thing about creating anything or even running a business. When the pool is that narrow, I honestly disagree with mark and doubt it’ll last long. Some version of AI will exist forever; but when you’re collapsing this soon out the gate, it ain’t gonna be this. And yeah, while the art worlds taken a hit the rise and protesting for better rights and utter collapse due to inflation, poor infrastructure and treatment of their workers to the point where even DISNEY is struggling If the capitalist machine keeps pumping as it’s designed to, it’s all gonna crash. We’re pretty much seeing at a rapid pace before our eyes. On the art front, we could draw with mud if we want, can’t put a price tag on that. But if the system keeps pushing like this it will be bad for everyone but an upside will be that these fuckwits made it basically impossible for guys like them to ever rise to power again Ate it’s own tail and raised the bar so high, even discarding your humanity ain’t enough for the rich to reach the unrealistic highs anymore.

I think something that people don’t really talk about in terms of AI is how over reliance on it in the big industries will most probably just give more power to indie companies. This conflict of interest has kinda always existed in the gaming industry with indie studios vs. AAA, but I think AI will be what drives that division in other creative industries also.

Not really worth much more than maybe some filler, the equivalent of the random painting your grandma has in her living room, and no person that's actually serious about art collecting or commissioning would ever want an AI piece as that isn't why people collect art.

The time and money put into an AI content farm can equal getting a basic certification from a community college. At that point, when making AI slop is just as much of an effort as actually getting a regular job, what's the point?

My father (a musician) around the early 2000s after getting some serious popularity and money from his career, later down the road made some bad decisions with his money and no longer holds as much of what he once had and as a result, has tried many of the couple “get rich quick” that have popped up over the last couple years. Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, low effort children’s content, Etherium, almost NFT’s (I dodged him a bullet with that one) and now Ai content. I’ve been along for the ride on enough of these “adventures” to say that people who make Ai content simply don’t care. They don’t care what content they push, who they push it to and who they harm by stealing content, it’s all money. The same goes for children’s content and even video games to an extent. I’ve lived my whole life in New York where many would do things unimaginable to those non desperate all for money. A man I knew suffered the lower half of his body cause someone put money on his head. All because money is power in this world, and power doesn’t corrupt, it enables.

He then started teaching courses on what was in the book. He then started selling course materials to others who paid him to teach his course. His business is now largely based on selling the rights to deliver his course materials on how to get rich through real estate speculation.

The main issue I see is that this isn’t just irresponsible parents. It’s much deeper than just individual choices. Even good parents can’t really do much. Often both parents have to work if they don’t want to raise their kids in a ghetto. they can’t monitor their kids all the time and daycare isn’t really affordable anymore (or at least in my area). And the dominance of suburbs is isolating, means kids can even really go outside and do something unless they want to wander around other people’s yard. And on average, parents don’t have any friends to help. This is an innately political topic, and speaking about this as an American. There needs to be a shit ton of pretty radical policy changes. Like family should be have the ability to actually be at home and with their family most of the time. Families should be able to live somewhere nice, where there’s communities for their kids to actually go out and hang out with neighbors. Even getting neighbors to who can help keep an eye on their kids. But all of this needs political will that doesn’t exist because some of it is genuinely will take a while. Like I think suburban America needs to be bulldozed. And raising wages and salaries goes directly against our corporate overlords, the ones who bribe our government. It’s not like this is impossible and the benefits aren’t massive. But I just don’t see it happening. This isn’t even going into the regulations that need to be applied to AI.

Visibility is always such a problem for everyone attempting any kind of indie creative endeavour, be it art, writing, youtube, tiktok, animation, game dev etc, and when AI writing comes in full force, the platforms are going to be chock full of sludge, burying anything with effort put into it. That's going to make discoverability a nightmare, and they're already advertising AI e-books to me. And that's just my worry from the self-publishing angle.
