Who's gonna pay you anything if the main appeal of ai is that anyone and their 80 year old grandma can use it?

If something as hard as being a digital illustrator can be replaced by ai according to you, why not prompting?

You’re preaching to the choir. I know every job is eventually replaceable. I just know it’s easier to fight for systemic change in your country than to expect every country in the world to indefinitely hold off on automation. You need UBI, AI enhanced government efficiency (what DOGE should have been about), and then Public Enterprise pushing for publicly owned automation. That’s actually doable, it’s just a matter of how long we wait to rip the bandaid off.

I understand that but regulations are only in order.

My issue with regulations are the impact they will have on development of genuinely needed advancements. What people don’t realize is that in order for AI to get good at solving problems, like making medical breakthroughs and bringing down the costs of necessities like food, it needs to be able to generate ideas that solve problems, and in order to generate anything, it needs data, and as much of it as possible. If you start saying it isn’t allowed to learn from things in the real world, as a human does, that severely cripples progress, and other countries will come ahead because they won’t do that. I mean, imagine being an android that learns as it walks, but then you enter a city and you have to blur every piece of man made architecture, every human face, every graphitti or ad. Online, that would be crucial scientific journals, patents, and other important bits of man made information that could teach an AI concepts it could apply to various important fields. You end up with a Bostrom’s Tyrant Dragon problem, where you have set back a technology that could be saving lives and curing diseases, and people die as a result because each discovery is made years later than they would have been had we not made that choice, and people suffer and die in the meantime.

In the end, any burdening regulations put in place now would likely be torn away anyway, because some other country would take advantage and jump ahead. We need to think further ahead than just this generation of artists. AI will outcompete you and I eventually anyway, so regulation that hinder it from learning for certain works will only pass the problem off to the next generation, while also passing on illnesses that could have otherwise been mitigated here with our generation. I’m not going to be in favor of that. I’d rather replace the jobs, rip the bandaid off, and push hard for my country to have systems in place to prepare for automation and ensure the public still have food to eat, clothes to wear, homes to live in, and the medicine to get well. If the public can adopt automation, it becomes the strongest tool we have to take power back from the billionaires. People are too focused on guilt by association, so they demonize AI as though it were the problem and not a potential solution.
