Well, now instead of paying the photographers for the stock photos to use as headline pictures, people instead pay the AI firms for the stock pictures to use as headline pictures.
The same could be said of commissioned paintings when photography became a thing. And yet here we are, and I doubt anyone - except maybe artists - would say the world is worse off.
Precisely. There is no need to wait for "the position" to be formulated since a) it won't be; b) it's mostly "AI is bad because, full stop" anyhow, not even a strawman.
> it's mostly "AI is bad because, full stop" anyhow
Ooh, the rare* double straw man. Since you look like you could use the exercise in intellectual honesty, I’ll pose the question directly: can you think of any reason that the ability for anyone to generate fake photographs indistinguishable from reality with no skill, time, or money required might make the world a worse place? Cause harm?
And again, how is "AI or human" relevant to discussing? Given the potential of an indistinguishable discussion (which will eventually be the case). Although also eventually it's AI that will consistently provide the superior discussion experience, then... what? Those against AI actively seek out inferior experiences? Should be interesting.

Which is "worse" by some metric, I'm sure.

Stop, stop, he’s already dead! You guys are getting straw everywhere.
Couldn’t wait more than 3 minutes for someone’s actual position before setting up that straw man to take down?
The actual position: "First, prove you're not an AI, and then we can discuss..." Yeah, no, I'll take myself being strangely prescient this morning.
The partial comment you’re quoting is
- not even a position
- not something you were remotely “prescient” about

First, prove you're not an AI, and then we can discuss whether being able to generate AI output indistinguishable from human output can cause harm.
