Bull fucking shit, you know as well as I do that your point doesn't make sense.
My point makes sense. What doesn't make sense
"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.
They are compensated. But they shouldn't be compensated if their work is used to train AI.
And that's the problem right there
AI is being used as a stand-in to bring in new laws and shape the current mindset. One that keeps everything for sale and builds artificial scarcity. They went after starving artists and creators first. Same tactics that were used to turn people on the right against immigrants. Fear, anger, repetition.
Go look at the old posts and articles. Then compare them to the stuff that was circulating during the anti-immigrant wave. It’s the same blueprint. The media was used the same way. Make people think there’s a crisis. Then give them something to hate.
AI isn’t 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.
Again like I said earlier 'they'll take yer jobs' is more about spreading fear and panic. The panic is never truly justified.
The Jobs will change. Bosses will always try to get rid of employees in favour of profits. Immigrants, sorry I mean AI is not a big threat.
People always ask why trumpets are the way they are. Look at yourself and the fear of this new thing and truly evaluate all the social media headlines and posts and comments it took to bring you here. It's the same process. Same shit different day. The media pushed this fear. That's how insidious they are.
Dude, you're the one saying it's ok to replace paid artists with AI, you're the one saying it's able to do their job, you're the one saying that it can take people's job, you just don't feel concerned because you can't imagine you'll be the one being affected, you're the one sounding like a Trumpist "It's ok, it will only affect others and they're the people who I believe done deserve to make a living off their work!"
I'm done, this is idiotic.
I never said to replace them. I just don't care if they make a living if they don't care about ending information scarcity
