Once they actually produce great games, you'll probably want to play them. People didn't stop buying products because they were made by machines instead of artisans.

Humans still controlled the machines.

AI takes the human creativity out of the equation.

Yes, it's different in the creative aspect, but it's similar in the job loss aspect.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yes, that's true.
I believe we should be able to embrace new technology and peoples lives should be made easier with it. We should be able to eliminate jobs and simultaneously ease financial burden with the efficiency increase. But i don't have an MBA so what do i know 🤷‍♂️

Reminder you still have to instruct the machine

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yes but writing gcode for a CNC machine isnt taking the creativity from the human. Even programs that write the gcode for you are still following the design of the human. AI generated art does not follow the human design, it generates its own.*

*Obviously other than art theft which i think doesnt count.

Well, there are those who like throwing the sabo's into the machinery, so you're not guaranteed people would ignore the AI creation nature of the great game, when deciding to buy/play the great game. You're already seeing a constant "No AI here!" mindset occuring.

But at some point, AI will be creating, especially if Capitalism can see it succeed and remove the need to pay for workers. We need to think about job-protecting laws today that are just and even-handed, and not just trying to stiff-hand AI creation, as that won't work long term.

I think what we need to protect is the quality of life rather than the jobs. I wish for a 20h work week at the same QoL.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I wouldn't disagree with that. Today's reality is that you need a job to obtain a QoL (aka 'pay the bills'). If we could get to a place as a species to where three/four day work weeks were the norm, that would be fine by me.

I'm assuming that at some point in our species future we'll be in a Post-scarcity place, and jobs as we know them now won't be needed. Instead people will have 'hobbies' that they enjoy doing. That's assuming the Morlocks don't eat all the Eloi before the Post-scarcity occurs, that is.
