Yes. As an aside, the post title reminds me of LinkedIn clickbait. Agree?

capitalism is the reason why AI is doing art

Calling AI generated pictures “art” is insulting to most artists. I agree though, all this hype is driven by short-sighted capitalism

It’s good enough that people won’t hire artists to do their art. Are you a corporate suit who needs mock ups of a certain idea or product? Have an unpaid intern spend 5 hours prompting Sora AI to produce hundreds of, and sort down to 5, images that you can use on your post-golf lunch meeting tomorrow afternoon

You seriously think people wouldn’t do for free what others require pay for under any other socio-economic society?

Oh, right…. Capitalism is to be blamed for…. Everthing ever.

Don’t get me wrong. Capitalism sucks, but let’s not dilute the water.

If it’s not art then what are artists afraid of?

Capitalism is the reason why AI doing art is a problem.

I mean I certainly agreed with the sentiment, but this is largely describing dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers, which were invented some time ago.

Part of the reason these take time is that a lot of folks are resource conscious (as am I). So we want the dishwasher to be efficiently loaded, the clothes to be dried on a clothesline if possible, the white/colors to be separated (increasea the longevity of the clothes), etc. Sacrificing all of these things makes these chores really very quii, if you can afford to have them all in your home.

And in fact, the cost of these things is relatively low — in my high COL area, it’s not that people can’t afford these things, it’s that they can’t afford a place big enough to accommodate them. Which is its own issue altogether…

That’s a problem with unchecked capitalism, not AI. Remember how George Jetson was able to have a house in the sky, a suitcase spaceship, full home automation, a robot maid, and supported his whole family by pushing a button? Consider how many people lived and worked on the ground beneath the cloud cover to make that possible.

Remember how he also only worked 3 days a week, and had job security even though he was fired every episode?

George Jetson had a very good union.

The Jetsons were the 1% and the Flintstones were the rest.

They were the Elysium space station people

There were no people down there. It was just a flooded planet

What we thought was the ground, could perfectly be a bigger platform for the buildings

Chess engines don’t use machine learning

This is just wrong. Yes they do.

Take stockfish for example. It’s probably the most well known engine. It uses specialized neural networks to evaluate board positions.
