However people also complained once the loom was invented. It took lots of jobs. The job argument is usually a stupid one. The lack of creativity and quality is of course a much better argument against AI art.

minus-squareJohanno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down2·2 days agoOk imagine this: You are an construction worker. The job is hard but the pay is okay. Now robots replace your job slowly. They are cheaper and more accurate. You can now: Complain about the robots stealing your job Be happy that you don’t have to do the hard work anymore. Many people will go for 1. But the actual issue is that the social security net isn’t existent or so weak that no job means no food. That is not the fault of technology though. Remember that when you vote and when politicians want to cut costs by reducing payments for the unemployed.
