But what would be the solution? Ban AI for 5 Years? 10? 20? I don't think that will ever happen. They need to adapt. And they need to do it fast. You can like it or not, but this is the future. And yeah, you can bet I would be upset like hell too if that happened to me, but I would also know that there is no hope in undoing it. And it's not like there is no upside to this or only for the Elite. The creation of Art becomes available and affordable to millions of people who had either no talent or no money to hire someone. You could say Art gets "freed" from the monopoly of people who are capable of creating it. Like making clothes or building furniture was "freed" this way. It will even increase the "output" of Art. Choosing Human made Art over AI-made is a personal preference then.
Social programs and monopoly busting worked quite well in American history, despite what many people may currently think.
We have governments, they should be for the people. They can craft legislation that protects people and ensures their economic livelihood.
Do not confuse Technology with Monopoly. Of course, you can fight Monopols and you definitely should! But You can't and shouldn't stop Technological advancements. And as sooner People realize this, the sooner they can move on and the smaller is the chance they will become totally crushed when they get replaced by AI.
Make no mistake, I am not confusing the two. In fact, the whole point of my previous post is that the problems come from the latter and not the former.
Oh yeah thats true! Fuck Monopols!
