AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans
(arstechnica.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You haven't heard of good writing and good artwork being replaced by AI?
I've seen some pretty interesting images and some funny text but nothing that amounts to a big enough vision that it's something cohesive like a complete movie or a book. I've seen Joel Haver videos but those aren't made by pushing a button and getting a video.
Replaced implies humans are no longer writing or creating art, which obviously isn't the case. They just have more competition now.
Replaced implies some, likely many humans won't be able to compete and will be driven out of the field. Not by any other more skillful artist, but simply by AI output. Which is an inevitability. Some might say it's already happening.
If it does, that's progress. As you stated, it's inevitable. Anytime technology leaps forward, some will lose while others prosper. I'm sure when automobiles started to surge, the amount of horse breeders declined a bit.
Edit
The difference is that when it comes to intellectual, creative and communication work, we aren't the coachmen and breeders, we are the horses. After horses were no longer needed, what happened to them was very different.
