recently my friend’s comics professor told her that it’s acceptable to use gen Al for script- writing but not for art, since a machine can’t generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister’s screenwriting professor said that they can use gen Al for concept art and visualization, but that it won’t be able to generate a script that’s any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that Al can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.
It’s only ever the jobs we’re unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen Al will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don’t.
That’s also why the billionaires love it so much:
they very rarely have much if any technical expertise, but imagine that they just have to throw enough money at AI and it’ll make them look like the geniuses they already see themselves as.
That and it talks to them like every jellyfish yes man that they interact with.
Which subsequently seems to be why so many regular ass people like it, because it talks to them like they’re a billionaire genius who might accidentally drop some money while it’s blowing smoke up their ass.
They think it knows everything because they know nothing.
Which ironically means that they are the easiest people to replace with AI.
… They just… get to own them.
For some reason.
