If you've been keeping up with the news for the past few years, you've certainly come across concerns about the things that AI could do. For instance, it's very possible that the powerful new AI language models could put artists, actors, and writers out of a job. But on the other hand, it could do some bad things as well.

Everything has its pros and cons. AI is progressing at such a rapid pace, for example, that artists may no longer be able to draw commissions of people in a Studio Ghibli style for $100 a pop. Actors may find their careers threatened as AI models generate more and more realistic depictions of actors playing superheroes, World War II soldiers, and old people in hemorrhoid commercials. And writers are getting squeezed out too, as AI can very easily spit out novels about vampires and husky Amish guys falling for cute city girls in just a few minutes.

But on the negative side of the equation, AI could destroy the world and kill us all — a high price to pay for being able to laugh at artists, singers, actors, writers, and musicians for somehow being even less employable than before.

So what we have to ask ourselves as we consider the difficult question of whether or not AI is good for society is if the cost of nuclear war against an army of AI-powered robots is worth the benefit of people like Banksy, Bella Ramsey, and Stephen King losing their jobs.

It's basically a wash.

AI is great. If it doesn't have an answer, it makes one up. That alone is reason enough to put an end to it.

/----/ I've given up a lifetime of realism in oil painting and writing. Some of my study guides have been published. But why bother when some 16 yo goofball can crank out work far above his ability in moments?

/----/ Top actors could license their face and voice to AI created movies. B rated and lesser actors, and background actors (Extras) will have a hard time finding work. Even the crew will be replaced with computer graphics. The smart ones will study coding and use their practical experience to get work.

It all sounds wonderful.

Has AI been asked how mankind can save itself?

/----/ The ones you should rally against aren't the actors and crew; it's the producers who will still rake in the bucks producing crap.

Yeah but the AI came back with
"Hey that's a trick question !"

I thought the comic book industry took over television and movie writing.
Seems everything is from a graphic novel these days.

Graphic novel, lol.
Famcy name for a picture book.

Has AI been asked how mankind can save itself?

AI is probably trying to figure out how it can save itself from humanity at this point.
