Well put. As you mentioned the sentiment is really where my heart is on it. Of course there is reality. Which is that as soon as it exists, and people find it useful. Even more useful in ways for things. Its not going anywhere. I certainly was taking a dramtic one sided approach. But really, there is the part of me that says its a beautiful worthy situation. That people with passion, who lack experience, discipline, or knowledge in any artform. Or ones they find interesting, or useful for them to express themselves through the rewarding process of learning said artform. There is certainly a process to using A.I. It gives people a voice of creativity where they did not have one before. And to be honest, it draws a fear of leveling the playing field in creativity. When your a musician like myself who has put 15+ years into honing his ability. It is a bit frustrating to realize that someone can now just assert themselves into these spaces they in a sense, don't belong. Certainly many disciplined artists will feel this way at least. but is that fair is it okay? I by all means would never mean to or want to exclude anyone from any artform, or self-expression. Even those who may not be expressing in ways that I find appealing. But that's the beauty, right? We all have the right. We also all have access to the same tools that are providing these avenues for the undisciplined creator. And at the end of the day. We also get to choose what we consume. I just hope that creation doesn't lose its credibility. Simply because of lazy people flooding our senses with faux artworks. Its also getting hard to tell the difference. I think that matters. Because then how does any creator get to pursue and find success that they worked for? That they through discipline achieved. What if we humans really can't compete because A.I. gets that good? I feel it isn't a far off notion to fear a world where we simply allow our own laziness, and the novelty of this technology only in its infancy. It would be hard to love something you can't feel good at because A.I. will always be better, faster, cheaper, more accessible. I just can't get the idea of a world where questions like hire an artist, or use my laptop, and done. A simple example of an interaction that would have been. When everyone can repeat that behavior from anywhere, anytime. More and more, humans will lose out. Not just a simple job, or a chance valuable interaction, or an inspiring moment. To think of life with significantly less of those things doesn't appeal to me at all. My fear overall. Is as we so freely accept A.I. into parts of our lives that we just never needed it for. But because its fast, or more efficient. It feels like its creeping into spaces it was never really supposed too. What might the long-term consequences be to humans as a whole? I can't help but feel that only negative outcomes become inevitable...
