      you can retroactively justify that no jobs should have been there in the first place, using this reasoning

      “Some creative jobs maybe will go away,” Mira Murati told her alma mater, the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth University, in an interview earlier this month. “But maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.”

      Get out of here with your gaslighting bullshit.

      honestly AI could kill most jobs. instead of paying to go to therapy I talk to chatgpt about my problems and it helps a lot. also takes away the awkwardness and having to go somewhere.

      If it wasn’t for creative jobs existing in the first place, there would be zero content to ‘train’ AI with and therefore, AI wouldn’t be able to “create” anything either. AI would be nothing without the ‘training materials’ of thousands or humans who dedicated their lives to mastering their crafts that AI is now copying.

      From the article: The advent of artificial intelligence has prompted understandable concern over job displacement—and nearly every industry stands to be impacted by the nascent technology. Creatives in particular have been shaking in their boots out of fear of losing their livelihoods to programs such as ChatGPT and DALL-E, which is largely used for graphic design. 

      And now, the chief technology officer of OpenAI warns that the technology could in fact cause job displacement in the creative industry. She questions, however, whether those jobs really needed to exist. 

      “Some creative jobs maybe will go away,” Mira Murati told her alma mater, the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth University, in an [interview](https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DyUoj9B8OpR8%26t%3D1772s) earlier this month. “But maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.”

      UBI is looking less and les likely. Starving to death looks more and more likely.

      This is my concern with a couple generations of young people aggressively pursuing STEM and disregarding the liberal arts and social sciences. Technical innovation is GREAT for the development of humanity and civilization; however, staunch ignorance to what it means to be a human is going to de-rail theoretical any and all progress.

      This technology is really world-changing, I promise!

      There haven’t already been any large-scale failures of the fundamental utility of the technology at all, stop asking!

      Just buy our nebulously useful subscription product so we can stay afloat a until the next funding round… also have your developers make buggy apps using our overpriced APIs!

      Also buy NVIDIA for reasons I can’t legally disclose!

      -OpenAI’s CTO, probably

      The only way to fight AI art is to go out and buy human-made art. Do your part.

      This is a wild thing to say with all the homeless, mentally unstable ex-creatives lurking the streets of SF.

      If these creative jobs hadn’t been there in the first place, OpenAI wouldn’t have any material to train on to displace these creative workers.

      AI’s are good at integrating large amounts of information and identifying broad trends that humans may not be able to spot. This is actually a CEO’s job, but humans can only digest so much data (which is why I have to prepare 1 paragraph long “executive summaries” of multi-page reports).

      So actually, it would probably be much more effective to replace the C-suite with AI and pay the “creatives” and other front-line workers below them more.

      If this was the case then why are those jobs getting paid more then lets say a construction worker or someone who actually does hard labor.
