Look at this 40 000 year old cave painting. A looooong time ago, someone had the urge to leave their hand print in a cave. Why did they do that? We’ll never know.
That person has been dead for thousands of years. We don’t really know anything about them. But whenever I look at this picture, I’m reminded that this was made by a human who once walked on this same Earth, drank water, breathed air, ate animals and plants, just like you and I. It was made by a human with a beating heart, emotions, beliefs and opinions.
Can AI make impressive and beautiful things? Sure! But those things have very little value to me, because when I look at them, I can’t think about the emotions and opinions the artist wanted to capture. I have molded pieces of clay into pots and painted them, just like my ancestors have done for thousands of years. A robot doesn’t have ancestors.
To you, art is simply something nice to be consumed. To me, art is a mortal human’s attempt to capture the vast greatness of the whole cosmos and leave a legacy that will survive the rise and fall of multiple civilisations and eras.
So are about half of the white collar office roles, so will about half of general warehouse labor with the robotics coming in, including multiple humanoid competitors.
When 30%+ unemployment is the new normal within the decade, will you still side with system of the gluttonous owners who tell us to fight to the death in tribute to their greed? Will you declare that a third of the population dying in the streets as just lazy and not the dwindling employed’s problem?
With AI making advances, the role of the artist is being diminished little by little.
