Raw LLM Responses

1. Yes, AI will have a profound impact on a lot of things, there's no doubt about that and there is nothing we can do to stop this now. It will undoubtedly be fantastically good, and it might be devastating (but probably not). Seneca said something along the lines "It might be devastating, or it might be miraculous. In the mean time; sit back, enjoy the ride, and hope for the best." 2. In the past when there has been hysterical doom and gloom rhetoric around a new technological advancement, it has always - *every single time* - turned out to not really be a big deal. In fact...it almost always got better. So people should just chill. This hysteria is pathetic. Stop with you damn temper tantrums! If you want to amuse yourselves further with the theme of this, look up the origins of the word "sabotage". 3. I think it is quite funny how very American your perspective is, how much focus you have on "work" and "jobs" and "labor" and all of that. Here in Sweden we have focused for a very long time to strive towards the goal of having to work as little as possible. Where we once needed a lot of people, who wasted their lives on the factory floors and broke their bodies in agriculture or in forestry, we now only need one single machine, like our forestry machines or the robots we have in factories. Instead we have developed systems that work for creative expression, whether that is technological design and development or making fantastic music, books, and movies. I mean... *we give out the Nobel Prize for those exact achievements! For innovations that enhances the human experience!* And that is *precisely* why we are world leading in technology and culture. More so than people realize. More so than Swedes themselves realize. 4. Benny Andersson, one of the guys in ABBA, was played a piece of AI generated music, and his response was (and I'm paraphrasing ofc) "Well, it sounds nice, but it doesn't go anywhere, it has no crescendo, soul." And I can feel the same way about a lot of AI generated art. Sure it can look good, but it doesn't really contain anything. So maybe it can be used for illustrations, movie posters, book covers....that sort of thing. But as it is right now, that's sort of it. 5. Since *art is not necessary,* since *the world does not NEED art and artists* (no matter how much we artists wants the world to need us see us as special) we will continue doing it - *simply because we can and because we want to.* People have been making art for as long as we have existed. Why would we stop now? Just because there is a slight risk we might not get paid? What a sad and pathetic view you have on art, artists, and ANY creative endeavor, in that case! Shame on you! (And I'm not writing this to you specifically, Kelsey. That "you" is general. ^.^) And if we continue to make art, people will still see it, like it and want it, and therefore pay for it. 6. New technology is being developed AS WE SPEAK to stop AI from using your art in their algorithms. There are technology that allows you to put a filter on any picture you upload to the internet, that virtually makes it invisible to AI. So, there's another reason not to fret. 7. Another thing people will have to learn now, is to be VERY attentive to what the terms and agreements are, whenever they start using a social media platform or whatever, to make sure that platform doesn't take ownership of the stuff you upload there. (8. Maybe a side note, but something I noticed is that you are using the word "complicated" when sometimes I think you mean "complex".) It's an interesting discussion, though, and I probably have more to say on the subject. But I am very curious to see where this all takes us. In the mean time I will just stand by and let myself be amused by all the temper tantrums being thrown around about this. 😅
