Way back hundreds of years ago before the camera was invented, people had their portraits painted. It took hours to days to weeks and was a job a lot of people had. One day the camera was invented and portrait painters found themselves in a predicament, evolve or starve. What ended up happening was portrait painters either carved out a niche as artisans (don't get a photo, a photo isn't special or impressive) or their art had to evolve and become something new. The end result was all these new kinds of art sprang up over several generations and lots of people who previously were unskilled, became photographers. More jobs were created than lost because suddenly you weren't limited in what you could obtain a picture of.
AI is a disruptive technology and just like the camera. The writers striking right now are portrait painters, they are just baffled and throwing a tantrum because it turns out their job wasn't as special or impressive as they previously thought, and they were even warned, fricking tvtropes is a catalog of every shitty cliche that is used in every form of media and yet people still write shit like "You know what this calls for, that's right a training montage!" Now there are two paths available.
1) Embrace AI. Become a better artist and stop writing hackneyed, derivative garbage that even a computer can replicate. Become a better person and allow AI to fulfill its role as a disruptive technology, taking us one step closer to a Utopian society where our time is entirely our own to do with what we please or
2) Fight AI every step of the way, keep writing shit and force everybody to eat your shit.
Don't have any sympathy for any individual that would interfere with a disruptive technology, they are not just fighting for their life, they are fighting against human progress. Embrace the eventual technological singularity.
Everything that rises must converge.

What a load of crap lol
Enjoy your BlackRock approved AI slop
Maybe if you stop writing airport chase confession scenes you would still have a job homosexual.
Do you understand how AI works? It’s more likely to result in more tropes, not less.
Post nose.
>BlackRock
And the award for overused conservatard buzzword of the year goes to...

Jews fear the steel chad
Anon they literally invented it. They decide what it's trained on and what it's allowed to say. I repeat, S L O P
The fact you would oppose a new technology because the wrong people have it is cutting off your nose to spite your face.
The industrial revolution and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
That meaning behind this is that the expectation that men shower and brush their teeth is much too difficult.
He posts from his personal computer.
why would a satisfied hunter-gatherer/pastoralist and his close-knit community of people living with humility alongside nature have any reason to post in this thread, let alone own computers?
Wow that's a lot of big words to say "I don't understand"
reminder he copied his manifesto word for word from a french philosopher arguing in favor of mechanization
>It took hours to days to weeks and was a job a lot of people had
Lol, lmao. No, less than one percent of people had as much as a charcoal sketch done of them. The nobility had portraits made. When cameras came around the number or portrait painters didn't fall because getting a photo made was too affordable. Rich people wanted to dab on the peasants so they kept getting portraits made.
Your quote doesn't even match your comment, portraits did take a long fricking time to make and you are right, generally it was nobility that had portraits painted, but the advent of the camera changed all of that. This doesn't conflict with anything I said. In the current year of 2023, people living in abject poverty have devices they can hold in their hands that can take and store literally millions of photos.
I for one hope that AI gets good enough that we can use it ourselves and I can see my own midwit movie ideas made
Exactly my sentiment, people who are true artists will continue making art. People still paint portraits, and those people still enjoy modest acclaim. These writers b***hing are not true artists, they are bad artists eking out a living by copy and pasting other people's ideas.
I think we continue just like we are forever, progress and technology a carrot dangled in front of you for thousands of years as your options for returning to a simpler life are constantly stripped from you
I don't think we get some kind of ultimate unification of purpose or the mercy of total collapse with the hope of a new world built on it. I think we just suffer in a very carefully maintained purgatory pursuing progress at the expense of our humanity and our legacy as nature's stewards
Portraits are still being made moron.
>What ended up happening was portrait painters either carved out a niche as artisans (don't get a photo, a photo isn't special or impressive) or their art had to evolve and become something new.
I literally said they did moron.
>was a job a lot of people had
no
Well now we're just arguing semantics, which is more or less what I would expect since people who can't argue the point tend to argue how the point is framed. Would you be satisfied if I removed that sentence? Because it doesn't change anything. If anything it further supports my point if I remove it.
I won't watch anything written by AI. And I work a very physical job that would require an actual robot to be physically present, my kind of work won't be replaced by AI until long after I'm dead.
We were supposed to automate the rote, mundane or dangerous jobs so we could focus on creative stuff but somehow ended up doing the exact opposite.
What's this "we" shit? Something tells me you aren't smart or powerful enough to be part of the people directing control of capital and research. Why are you talking like you have or are owed any power, little guy?

Go back to fricking your sister, Cletis.
That's a really weird assumption to make, I'm not really seeing any evidence for that characterization at all. You feeling alright?
You're right. The only one who'd allow you to frick her is your mother. But it's not because she likes you; she does that to everyone.
Oh, this is like a playground insults type of thing. Yeah, well you're a stupid doodoohead and I bet you've got a weird bent willy!
Except a portrait is a copy of someone's likeness and a story is supposed to have a creative element that AI cannot provide
It can only copy elements from existing works and mash them together.
Yes?
So you'll get stuck with a machine that shits out stories like the ones we have right now, and can never move beyond that.
That's a bold statement, but I think you're confused. I know AI is going to put out shit, the point I'm making is that AI has the potential to eventually put out less shit as people train it and find new methods that tap into a deeper understanding of creativity, while these writers jobs hinge entirely on you eating shit.
Yes? At first. That's how progress works.
And what will you train it on, when people replace writers with AI?
I don't know because I'm not from the future dolt. Your argument is based on the premise that we should keep writers because they put out the same shit as AI anyway, the point is that AI doesn't put out shit consciously. I imagine that eventually we will get to a point where they train AI on deeper information than just cliches.
If you don't have new information to train the AI, you have no way to train the AI, nitwit.
You must be a third worlder because this is a no prefrontal cortex level of understanding of what I'm saying. The "new information" doesn't have to be cliches you dolt. The "new information" can be anything, including new information about how humans are creative to begin with. If an AI figures out creativity then it can come up with "new ideas"
b-b-but in my sci-fi goysl-i mean series only humans can be creative!! this is… its antisemitism! it just is okay???
that was not the correct soijak. how embarassing. its so fricking over
