It seems that people can get so "locked in" to the internet, that it becomes the only "real" place.
People need to be reminded the there is a physical world, and the internet isn't the only place art is created and appreciated. Just because AI slop has invaded the internet, that doesn't mean people aren't going to paint or make music in the real world.
That said, I do think a boutique market will arise from hand crafted works in the wake of all this.
Yes, you are right, but creating good art takes time, and combining it with a full-time job will be difficult. Few people can do it. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. I know how difficult it is, but since AI can steal your style, selling your work will be scary. Also, what if there are scammers who try to sell generated images, etc.
So you're saying that full-time jobs are the problem, not AI?
What if AI took over everything and provided everything for you, so you could focus on doing whatever you want, including art, not needing a full time job anymore?
Do you think we live in some kind of fairy tale? It is impossible and obviously not accessible to everyone, and such a world would be extremely fragile and would not last long.
You seem to be one of those people who think that everything will be fine even though a collapse may happen soon?
Noo we cant have good things for everyone that would be communism
Doom doom doom, doom do doom, doom do doom
I cannot see this as a valid and reasonable response to "we aren't likely to see an AI powered socialist dystopia in our lifetime, if ever." AI isn't even profitable for the capitalists that run it, and needs to constantly feed off real humans to avoid decay. It's definitely not doomsaying to see AI as a bubble and generally a grift as it's presented now, when it's likely to fit in a much more specific niche as a tool in the future. Art will stay uniquely human until AI can create without needing constant human training data.
