The promise is to automate the drudge work, freeing people to pursue their passions.

Like, you know... creating art.

But most work IS drudge work and the automation causes new different drudgery. Use to be you could dictate a letter and someone from the typing pool would clean it up, proof it, and send it. Now those same people get to write their own crappy email themselves

Art will be created like AI - like it already got its hands on graphic design, and game art, and vfx, and music.

It will leave not-yet-automatable grudge work to people instead.

I mean...

There's the concept, and then there's the painting.

AI slop from a generic prompt is not the same as "using AI to get my concept in physical form faster."

Imagine, for example, a one-man animated movie. But, like, with a huge amount of work put into good, artistic, key-frames; what would previously have been a manga. That's possible, soon, and I think that's huge and actual art.

> what would previously have been a manga

Completely out of touch to downplay the entire manga industry as "skill issue".

Akira Toriyama totally created Dragonball as a manga because he was just wasn't good enough to make an animated movie!

Berserk is a book because Kentaro Miura just had skill issue!

Only imagine if Tolkien wanted to create the Lord of the Rings if he had AI!

As if a medium only artistic merit because sufficiently advanced technology just didn't exist yet. groooaaaaan
