So is programmers, this is a race between commoners adapting to new technology (to make a living) before programmers repeatedly, at ever faster speed than before, render such adaptation obsolete. If programmers are faster capitalism is going to collapse when we spiral into needing fewer and fewer human jobs.
Not to derail, but in my own personal experience and studies, socialism is literally a big feudal state, it's just that there's one single owner of everything. What the user says makes sense to me in the most scary way... Laws haven't even adapted to AI-less internet on many regards, let alone now that they have to rush... Everything is going to get shit this next decade, if only AI wasn't used as a way to remove people from society but to serve them...
It is inevitable AI will replace us all. The hope is that machines won't learn to maintain and design themselves but it seems they are already learning basic programming something many believed impossible. Let's hope our AI overlords don't see humans as the pests they are on this planet and it's dwindling ecosystems and resources..
"Our way of making a living is suddenly destroyed. [...] I wish I could just shoot down these programs."
-an anonymous artist speaking on using AI programs for work
AI art is being used so much it's reportedly eliminated the need for artists at game developers in China. Per a new report from Rest of World, companies in the country are now relying on AI generators over human illustrators.
The use of AI generators such as Midjourney and DALL-E allegedly started in February, and since grown exponentially. Studios using this technology range from small indie developers to regional giants such as Tencent and NetEase, who use AI to create materials such as characters, locations, and promotional materials.
Indie developer Xiao Di admitted that he and other developers of his size have resorted to AI as a way to save money. Previously, they would outsource their art to a freelancer, but making characters and backdrops with AI has allowed them to reduce costs.
Per game industry recruiter Leo Li, illustrator jobs declined by nearly 70 percent in the last year, in part because of AI growth. "Bosses may be thinking they don’t need so many employees,” said Li.
Those who spoke to Rest of World said they're encouraged by their employers to use the generators as a way to increase productivity. Xu Yingying, who provides art at an indie studio in Chongqing, China, told the outlet that AI "is developing at a speed way beyond our imagination. Two people could potentially do the work that used to be done by 10."
AI has a foothold in art, but where does it end?
Beyond art, AI is already making footholds in other departments of game development, such as writing, voice acting, and design.
Artists are often one of the first departments to get involved in a video game's production, and game artists in China told Rest of World their concerns about being replaced by AI technology.
It's a fear felt by artists across the entire creative field. Last year as the tech was becoming more commonplace, websites such as Kickstarter and ArtStation let AI-made art proliferate on their platforms.

It's usually will require supervision (and it stated above that not all 100% of artists were cut), but a lot of junior and middle positions will be eliminated - those who do mundane job.
Find a new job.
Same as IT automation before. And machines in general even before that. It's a cycle of life - some jobs get replaced and new ones appear.
It'll be nice if instead of firing a lot of people, companies retrained them instead and cranked up the productivity/output of their pipelines. It would be the more responsible, less scummy thing to do.
Not gonna happen unfortunately en masse. Some people will be retrained and/or moved to new positions, but a lot will be layed off.
When we do reach the point where there's no need for human workers.... Then honestly that's a good thing imo.
Not the same at all. Already AI is smarter than humans at a lot of tasks. At some point over the next 5-10 years general AI will exist and shortly after that there won't be a single task that we do that it won't be able to do better, faster, cheaper and running 24/7.
Until the organization get hacked and back to humans again.
AI output is top notch and is rapidly getting better.
They will. As slaves.
Buy some land.
You can ask AI to generate source code for one.
It's not. Current AI lacks functions of prefrontal cortex so they can and do better only on "muscle memory" tasks (being trained AI has several times the experience of human on those tasks). Same as machines eliminated some mechanical repetitive task required no real intelligence input, and IT automation eliminated some others.
Could explain why the governments around the world is constantly trying to de populate the world.
basically the story of UK and USA.
Stable Diffusion running locally on your PC.
Link me some proof thenI guess someone hasn't been paying attention
This is prety much presentation for casuals.
Your utopia has one flaw - in a perfect "optimized" world excess people are not needed - those who don't work, don't eat. There is no altruism in pragmatism and cynicism (and AI pragmatic and cynical by design).
Out of touch with reality.
100s of years away from AI creating a triple A game, personally i cant see it happening, way to many risks involved then actually getting people to do it themselfs
Yep your right explains why copyright laws totally exist there and everything so far thats came from china has been totally new and original...
Not my words. I simply told ChatGPT to write a story on how AI would kill capitalism and communism.
What does copyright laws have with creativity? All they do is protecting owner of title of creation for monetization. And monetization is not a single driving factor for creativity impulse.
Very, very wrong. Hundreds of years away. Oh my! A decade, maybe two.
They are already adding chatGPT to plugins in Unity. 100s of years away... lol.
