So here’s what I think will happen in the worst case, but in all honesty it’s extremely likely:
Live creators will leave to prevent AI from stealing their style and soul. Platforms will be filled with beautifully generated but empty garbage. And underground creators who do their work with soul will face problems, for example, there will be scoundrels who will steal or buy content to feed it to AI. Remember, this is capitalism, baby!!!
Most likely, the creators will be pestered with questions like: why don’t you use AI? Are you [Bad Word] or just mentally removed? Look how much I’ve managed to do with AI! And why did you do so little and put your soul into it? Don’t make me laugh, in my opinion, you made some kind of forbidden crap or even satire.
In short, as you understand, this is the end of art. People have a choice: stop feeding AI out of anger, and then rejoice, watching the complaints of these consumers: why is everything so the same? Why is the Main Character invulnerable again? Why do they constantly try to deceive me, saying that a living author did this. Do you think I’m [Bad Word]? and etc. You can even give your idea how these consumers will complain lol.
Honestly, I don’t see the point in trying to explain everything in more detail, because I don’t want to get banned for “panicking” anymore and few people will understand the meaning anyway, and most will even forget it altogether.
Do you think I’m wrong?
Well it used to be that rich people preferred to have porcelain white skin, because the poor had to be outside to work. Then the poor started working indoors, so now the rich prefer to be tanned.
Art tastes will change similarly. Art with obvious imperfections will be considered better. Actual paintings with large obvious, textured brush strokes. Books and poems printed on rough hand made paper. Maybe even hand lettered. Things that were obviously done by a skilled craftsman, but would be difficult to do with machines and Ai.
Think the neovictorians from Neal Stephensons The Diamond Age.
I hope this doesn’t lead to another “videogames use film grain and motion blur” situation
