Reply to comment by ego_bot in Sci-fi becomes real as renowned magazine closes submissions due to AI writers by Vucea

Progress moves forward, old ways die off, adjust and adapt. Content is now cheaper to produce. If it's true that all AI content is trash, then people will ignore it and gravitate to the "real" stuff - but I think we all know, that's not actually true, and that people will gravitate to whatever is interesting and that's what scares the gatekeepers. What if the AI stuff is just as interesting as their own stuff? What happens to "me"? What if this is just temporary and in a few years, AI makes another leap forward? People will adjust and adapt and become better prompt writers and if they can direct the AI better than average, then they'll be fine.

Valid points. Will be interesting to see what happens when the AI art is actually competent and enjoyable.

However, it seems to be that humans inherently enjoy something less if they know it has been generated by a program in a few seconds. There is no creative process, no soul, "a mockery of what it means to be human." The AI itself isn't even a thinking being, not even close (though one day that could change).

You are right about one thing. We will adapt, one way or another.
