    I’ve never seen anyone say they should ban traditional art and only have AI?

    What a well constructed strawman.

      It’s not a perfect analogy because no one is paid to eat ice cream. People do get paid to produce art, and that allows a lot of people to pursue their passion while still being able to house and feed themselves. Automating art and making it cheaper than humans means they would no longer be able to do that. We’ve automated away jobs that people actually enjoy doing. It’s not banning per se, but it greatly reduces how much time people can spend on it.

        Right but people who like art can still make art, which is what the comic is implying they can’t.

        Is this about creativity or capitalism?

          If you’re wealthy enough, you can. Otherwise, all your time is going to be spent working (not through producing art) to make ends meet and resting so you can do it all over again the next day.

      Don’t try to present an argument to the Anti-AI crowd; they don’t even know what AI is.

        I know what AI is and have developed a simple one myself before. I have also used ai and I still think it shouldn’t be used to automate away interesting jobs

        The neo-luddites are mostly bullies riding high on their vocal mob up voting anything they say. They started out blindsiding anybody having fun with AI in any forum and repeating these stupid arguments that wouldn’t pass as grade school logic if their pitchfork mob wasn’t yelling hurrah at any nonsense they spew.

          The OG luddites were not opposed to technology but yes I agree
