Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 12 April, 2024, 10:41:06 AMSpeaking as someone who makes a living out of drawing and painting, AI art is deeply worrying .
Six years ago, I delivered an educational lecture to a group of TV production students at a local university about the (contemporary) nascent use of AI/ML in the media production sector, highlighting examples in video editing and vocal & music production. What really rammed it home was when one student -- who shot live match footage/highlights for a local League One football club -- realised with unpleasant shock (and quite a few expletives) that already-available, off-the-shelf software could do most of his job.
We've known for a long time that this was inevitable. Heck, Kenny Who? was published nearly 40 years ago! Many people had just presumed it was further away, so have ignored the doom-mongering this last decade.
Much as we might moan, we all have to adapt to this new world. After all, there are not many jobs nowadays for knocker-uppers, telegram messengers or VCR repairers these days.
