    We had all this back in the 1970s with “Robots and Computers will take all our jobs” scaremongering.

    As factories & production lines started to use robots and CNC machines, CAD and digital imaging appeared, accounting software etc etc we were all going to lose our jobs and live a life of unemployed leisure.

    Never happened.

    I’m sure AI will play an important role in the future but like so many new fads it will settle into its niche and we will all be okay.

      To create a specific model and then have the same exact model in different clothing and poses is not something that a manager just did with an off-the-shelf pre-trained stable diffusion solution. They might not have given a model a gig, but they hired at least one full-time AI specialist.

      I kinda wish it would actually be disruptive in a more positive way. But you’re right: most of us only saw a fraction of a fraction of a real benefit from the increased efficiency of automation.

      So it’s unlikely that any new labour saving technology will change the lot of your average person, except as a consumer.
