Artists are much more expensive to hire.

Sure and why does this kind of democratization call for government regulation?

Ok so Im just a regular guy but I have two ideas for how this all ends very badly for most people. One is automated scamming. Before you needed a call center in india or somewhere which could be pretty expensive. If you wanted to scale you had to hire people which took time. But now you can just do it all on your own. The second issue is with just a prompt. "Create me a video of Biden announcing why he has just launched a tactical nuke on russia." Oh boy so even if we all just don't believe in that it would cause other issues like not believing anything you see or read... I mean you don't think these are issues?

Yes, this kind of crap is the inevitable byproduct of new tech. That happens every time a new thing is created.

The good news is that companies will create similar tech to filter out the shit. Just think about scam email - this is the same thing at another level.

Oh these are just the surface level issues. The more you dig the more you realize that things are looking bad. We don't have a real plan for ai safety and it will likely end us a result. This can't be one of those things where we get it wrong and improve later. Because if we fail just once, no more people to learn from the mistake.
