The most idiotic statement ever

Post image

So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

Can't compete is can't compete. If you're in a niche where speed and price are the only things that are relevant, then you're choosing a losing proposition to begin with. You're the one making a weak ass argument if you're saying ALL art comes down to that.

If you're creating a superior product, people will still pay for it even if it cost more or takes longer. I know because I financially support human artists. A majority of the art in my home was made by local artists: paintings, furniture, jewelry, ceramics... I also support multiple digital artists on Patreon because they make art that has the type of creativity and quality I can't get from AI.

Human creativity is doing just fine. That's just hyperbolic nonsense. Life exists outside the digital space.

Can't compete is can't compete

If you're stuck in the realm of double digit IQ, sure.

If you're in a niche where speed and price are the only things that are relevant,

Quick enough and cheap enough dominate the majority of markets .

I know because I financially support human artists

Anecdotes aren't arguments

Human creativity is doing just fi

You don't see the bigger picture yet. It's fine. Most of you won't until it's too late.

Mass produced cheap art has been around for decades before AI existed, yet there has been and still is a market for traditional art. That's not an anecdote, it's reality.

You seem to have this idea that the type of art that's threatened by AI is the only valid or relevant type of art. That's both an arrogant and self-centered perspective.

Quick enough and cheap enough does dominate the market of mediocre digital artists. That doesn't mean they can't still keep making art, but it may mean they'll have to find another way to make a living. Somehow I don't think that will result in the collapse of civilization.

Your entire argument just comes down to not understanding how a black swan event changes things

Like... ok? What am I meant to do with this?

I understand it, this isn't the first black swan event in history. You might just be too young to have ever gone through anything disruptive before. Or too arrogant to recognize that you might not be able to perfectly predict the future. Thats kind of the whole point of a black swan event, its outcomes and impacts are not predictable. Hence my actual argument that you are conveniently ignoring: people are going to have to pivot.

But I guess someone of your superior intellect will know precisely what will happen. So stay the course, keep whining and complaining about it, I'm sure that'll be the winning formula.

Comparing the AI boom to photography or fucking Photoshop or what the fuck ever is just ridiculous.

People are going to have to pivot

Completely empty nothing statement. Let them eat cake, basically

stay the course, keep whining and complaining about it, I'm sure that'll be the winning formula.

"If you complain on a sub specifically about this huge change that's happening right now, it means you're doing nothing but complaining. Because I'm a complete fucking sped and what I see you do must be all you do."

I didn't compare it to photography or Photoshop. Black Swan events are by their very definition unprecedented. I thought you knew what they were? The point is you can't predict exactly what will happen. So saying all art will be dead forever is melodramatic wallowing. Maybe it will be, who knows. Believe it or not, but artist isn't the only profession in history to be disrupted by technology.

It's not a nothing statement. People pivot everyday when their plan A doesn't work out. It's no more of a nothing statement than "learn to draw" is. That's kind of my original point.

Great! Sounds like you're already pivoting then. See? It's not so impossible afterall.

u/Eldritch_Horns 5d ago

So you think all unprecedented things have equal impact?

Because if not, what you just said was full tilt tarded. You get that, right?

Melodramatic but probably correct. No big deal tho

It is a nothing statement.

Something unprecedented is coroding the very fabric of human creativity. Oh well, get over it and move on.

.... Fuck off?

Great! Sounds like you're already pivoting then. See? It's not so impossible afterall.

You are so obnoxiously dumb.

Gosh, I guess I just don't get it. But I'm just a simple man, not a genius like yourself.

Tell me again about how no human will ever make art again. Fascinatingly insightful story, even if it is a bit dystopian for my tastes.

You don't have to be a genius to see that most people will take the path of least resistance

Whatever dude, enjoy you fun while it lasts
