A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Which art forms are dying because of AI?
I didn't decide anything, it's just life. Move or get left behind. It's how nature works. That's just evolution. You don't have to like it, but it's a fact.
Maybe ask artists who have their work stolen to feed AI models that then take their job. Again, this is a problem because capitalism made it one.
We are not nature. We can make different decisions besides brutal evolutionary pressure.
Does the death of an artist kill an art form? As you said, art is an expression of creativity. That is expressed in many ways. People have created art before AI and they will continue creating art after. Art isn't just painting, or drawing, or acting, of sculpting, it can be found in sports, in engineering, in science, in the kitchen, on the playground, in our words, in our expressions, in fact it is everywhere around us. Attributing the death of creative expression to AI is misrepresenting the infinite ways it can be expressed.
I disagree, it's a problem because people don't want to evolve.
We are a part of nature, or you claiming we are unnatural? What even is unnatural? Viruses modify host cells and subvert them to become virus factories, is that unnatural? Monkeys, crows, turtles, dolphins, ants, and a host of other animals use tools to achieve myriad goals.
Everything is constantly changing. Everything is "evolutionary pressure". We are in no way unique in our existence. As a species, we aren't special.
Oh. So you're a social darwinist that believes that they are special enough that they'll never be in the crosshairs. Great. Here's hoping that you gain some empathy and a better understanding of human evolutionary and societal history (hint: altruism and caring for others who are unable to provide for themselves is the rule, not the exception).
Selective quoting. Love it. Forgot to quote this
If your reading comprehension allows, you'd understand that I don't think I'm special or unaffected by AI. What I do understand is that progress stops for no one. Not for you, not for me, nobody.
We should be working towards solutions like universal basic income instead of crying about AI taking jobs or whatever. Pandora's box has been opened and the only way we're putting AI back in the box is by eliminating tech or ending the human race. The latter might be a possibility with how we're messing up the environment, which would bring the former with it.
