Sorry for the necro of this topic, I don't really have much time to browse internet topics anymore unforch so I'm out of touch with quite literally everything.
Keeping in mind that you're looking for well articulated, thought provoking and generally enlightened responses for this topic, I will say I think the use of AI in creative fields (as someone who works in the creative fields) is the suckiest suck that ever did suck, it sucks, boy does it suck, oh wow does it ever suck, who the hell thought of this because they really do suck?!?!?!
I mean, we know that this eventually will help small creators put out works on par to large creators, but we all know that large companies, which has a fiduciary duty to their shareholders, which means it's their duty to look for ways to make their shareholders money, in their all consuming bid to not just make a modest profit but try and make all the profits, then increase their share of all the profit again next year, will of course look to cut staff and use AI wherever they can. Which oneups their tendency to cut staff and foist their work onto everyone remaining for no extra pay by a considerably wide margin. It's why the writers guild in Hollywood went on strike. It's incredibly scary and worrying for everyone. Good for the consumer sure, but it's likely to put a lot of people out of work. I can't be on AI's side in this.
