        “The best art is the one created by people who get no recognition for it”

        Do you also believe the best houses are built by people who have no training in how to build them?

        “Stop paying artists and people will keep creating”

        They will, they won’t be able to spend the time required to become masters at it unless they’re already rich enough not to have to spend time working. It’s also the same thing here, let’s stop paying plumbers, people who like doing plumbing will just continue doing it. Let’s stop paying garbage people, someone will keep doing it because they like it… Oh wait, no they won’t.

        People deserve a form of compensation for their work if we want to live in functioning societies. If we go back to living in small tribes then sure, people will just do what they must without compensation because it’s required to survive, but then human population would be in the millions instead of billions and we wouldn’t be here to talk about it because the technology wouldn’t exist anymore.

              It’s not a problem. Unless the AI is recreating their work and selling it themselves. If it isn’t, then there is no issue with training on it and no need to compensate.

              The Internet is not just a modern mall. It’s for information sharing. Just because people started selling their wares online doesn’t mean that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

              The Internet was suppose to end the problem of information scarcity. Instead, we have recreated this problem but at much worse levels.

              Its why Facebook, only fans and twitch are king while sites like internet archive are almost dead. We fucked it all up just to recreate the modern American mall digitally.

              AI is not the problem.

                You’ll keep saying that until you end up jobless because a computer can accomplish your tasks in a good enough way, not as well as you, just well enough, then because it suddenly affects you you’ll be angry about it.

                  It does affect my job. And no I won’t end up jobless. My job will change and I’ll adapt. I’ll be able to do more at my job with AI and then expand on the work it does. It’s symbiotic not parasitic

                    Again, until your boss feels he doesn’t need you and can just rely on good enough shit regurgitated by AI.
