    It’s pretty terrifying when you think about the possibilities of deception. And also how throwaway content is going to become. We are going to generate content at a volume orders of magnitude larger than our already current excessive volume, and finding the stuff that has real meaning and a real message is going to be even harder.

    Also, artists whose work and styles fed this will be put out of business without ever being paid for their work that was used to train these models. 🫤

      If you are concerned about AI making “content” more throwaway, then you are already viewing creative works as something throwaway. Artists make works with meaning, AI doesn’t have a brain, it can’t make things with a meaning. That’s the job of the artist.

        So you’re saying the people who write and tweak the prompts to create the output they envisaged don’t deserve to be called artists?

        In my mind, AI just lowers the barrier required for people to be able to express what’s in their mind
