  • It is already making pictorial evidence worthless, which is a scary thought no justice system has even begun considering yet, even though it is literally already happening. Criminals all over the world rejoice, they can be caught doing the act on video, and it will be worthless. Of course this applies even more to large scale criminals like dictators. It will all be “fake news” from now on.





  • It’s like watching people get angry at the first steam engines that appeared.

    It is nothing of the sort. Steam engines served mostly useful purposes. AI mostly does not (at least not in an open world environment, it has excellent purposes in closed environments like medicine and science). The fact that it is indeed unstoppable does not make the outrage of its infestation of everything on the internet less, quite contrary.

    I genuinely worry about their mental health over the next few years

    I guess someone with their head in the sand, their fingers in their ears and screaming at the top of their lungs like you, will have an excellent mental health.

    AI is significantly different from the other things you mention. With the others a human is still involved, and in fact indispensible, in the process of creating art.

    Not so with AI (except of course for all the human art illegally used to train it). It is also capable of pumping out its creations at a speed no human can match. You search for examples in history of similar things happening, but the fact of the matter is that nothing in human history is equivalent to this. So using history as some sort of guiding light is quite the fool’s errand. We can only judge by what is happening, and the reasons for those things happening, and extrapolate from there.

    And judging from those facts then it does become obvious that automated content will very soon drown out all human made creativity, just from the sheer volume of automated content being created at exponentially larger rates.
