Well, I interpreted it about as different as possible, but to each their own I guess. Though it makes no sense to me to call it "clickbait". Bait for what? The original commenter was just expressing an opinion, not selling ads or something.
I don't think it's a statement about "classic" at all - it's a statement that people generally enjoy writing and making art, and people generally don't enjoy doing their dishes or laundry. Tech used to be about making the "hard drudgery easier".
Right but..for whom? Again: AI existing doesn't stop people doing writing or making art.
What it does stop is getting paid for those activities where they are paid for: but then, that's not "unbridled creativity" anymore - that's "corporate says we need a stylized picture of a man standing in a field by tomorrow".
Or it's the exact thing the author in the linked blog here is talking about: what was their actual job?
> One morning, I sat down at my desk to craft yet another press release touting yet another "game-changing" startup that had raised - yet another - $25 million. And I realized I couldn't remember the last time I'd written something I believed in. The words that used to flow felt like trying to squeeze ancient toothpaste from an empty tube.
Literally getting paid to write...just not what they wanted to be writing.
But there’s no AI that can do your hobby either. If your hobby is painting… are you painting for those who are now paying Chatgpt for their painting needs? Have you been robbed of your hobby? No. The scenario is as imaginary as Dishwashgpt remains.
There is a machine that does laundry and dishes.
You don’t need „AI“ for that - by the way it’s actually machine learning - AI is another bullshit term.
One of my hobbies is creating art with machine learning tools - so that’s the opposite, it is enabling me to do my hobby.
I get the dangers of this technology but I really don’t see why it would prevent anyone from pursuing their hobbies.
Edit:// oh an capitalism doesn’t ruin art, quite the opposite. Any political system needs art, and in capitalism it’s extremely individualistic art that is needed, which is why I would argue humanity has produced more and more varied art since capitalism exists than ever before.
