I thought these lines summaries the fear of A.I for most of the humans beings perfectly at it’s current levels. These so called content creators are the loudest on the internet so it’s understandable that these people are worried the most. Given where A.I is at the current level, but maybe in the next decade, maybe until 2032, we might see a lot more people worried and not just because they’ll lose their job.
A.I is the ultimate herd machine. It’s trained on the average of all human knowledge. It’s the statistical mean of everything we’ve ever written or created. So, if your work is average, if you’re just rearranging words, or copying a coding style, or painting like everybody else. Then maybe the machine should replace you or at least what you do.
For the last 20 years the internet has created a culture of content, not art but, “Content”. Clickbait articles, generic emails, SEO optimized blog posts, formulaic pop songs. We turned human creativity into a factory assembly line.
A.I is simply the machine that runs that factory better than we do. It’s burning down the forest of mediocrity and selling it back to us for a profit. The era of the average knowledge worker is over.
The video dwells a lot more into other aspects as well and should be worth watching.
