    Generative text, pictures and music, companies will absolutely use those over paying a writer, artist or composer.

        What I am saying is that it will become way, way more dificult finding work as an artist/writer as AI becomes better, and humanity as a whole will lose a lot of important culture.

        We will also loose almost all remaining good news sites, why should a company hire a journalist when they can just feed AI the raw data they get and have it create a well written article about the event, complete with specific political biases added?

        We were sold on AI taking care of the boring tasks, letting us focus on the fun and creative parts, but the reverse has happened.

        The boring tasks are usually the most critical to do right, meaning they come with liabillity, a human making a misstake is fine for a company, they is normal, but an AI making a mistake is potentially dangerous for a company, it has new risks, and they are unpredictable.

          But you can still be creative and have your nebulously undefinable freedom, you just can’t work- hence, it’s not taking your creativity or freedoms, it’s taking your job

          The takeaway here is that we should strive for a society in which artists do not have to monetarily justify their existence

            By not getting paid to be creative, their creations will have less exposure, they will also not be able to spend as much time honing their craft as they need a job to earn money to support their craft.
