That's my profession you're talking about. Many of my colleagues are freaked out about losing their jobs, they've spent decades honing their craft. I heard one art director describe the future of professional artists as "visual janitors" who will spend their time generating images and using their skills cleaning up the weird mistakes the AI makes.

That's like 90% or more of programming jobs is just making different APIs talk to each other. Just because you may not like doesn't make it bad.

Just because you like it doesn't make it good, either. :)

I'm almost hoping for some enshittification. It's so depressing seeing how many skills and jobs have been instantly devalued. Take a look at the artist communities and it's total depression that peoples life passion and source of income has just been deleted over the course of a few months. We aren't talking about burger flipping and checkout scanners. This is a creative pursuit which takes years of grinding to becom…

This is a creative pursuit which takes years of grinding to become proficient, just wiped out. Solve cancer…

Talk about goalposts.

Not even deleted! Actively stolen. No one has yet grappled with the reality that especially in the realm of generative art, these models do not work without a basis of absolutely stressful amounts of stolen artwork to train them.

How does a Human generate their ideas, styles, etc? We absorb everything we come in to contact with too.

"I'll keep saying it every time this comes up. I LOVE being told by techbros that a human painstaking studying one thing at a time, and not memorizing verbatin but rather taking away the core concept, is exactly the same type of "learning" that a model does when it takes in millions of things at once and can spit out copyrighted code verbatim."

Oh please. First of all, how do you steal an idea? We’re talking about pictures. Supposing that you buy into the theory that you can, copyright was created to further the arts and sciences; it’s in the US constitution. The point isn’t to control your work — it’s to live in a richer society. And it’s not even clear that training a model counts as infringement. Being able to recite a quote from a book is different than…
