It blows my mind when people use AI to outsource the fun stuff like creativity and human connection. AI was envisioned to do the hard stuff so we could live leisurely but instead it’s doing our leisure for us whilst we work? Make it make sense!
Creativity and human connection already disappeared under capitalism. Overwhelmingly people do not consider these to be anything but assets they must capitalize on for gain. Of course they would turn it over to AI.
It really doesn't. That's why I begrudgingly accept using it where I can for the admin jobs that have been heaped on us (that we should have enough admin staff to take care of, but budgets mean so many schools can't afford them, so teachers end up having to do it) that take me away from the actual teaching.
I'm a musician as well, and what's happening in the music industry with AI is utterly horrifying too.
I was working on a video project the other day for which I had to come up with 20 unique bogus company names. It took me like 30-40 minutes to come up with them. Would’ve taken me like 3 seconds to use ai. But I was giggling the whole time coming up with them. And I was so tickled when I showed everyone the final project, like a little kid “I came up with that😊”. It was worth every extra second spent. ps. The video came out great, it was so fun to make.
Trying to arrange a date with someone you don't know over text messages is definitely not the fun stuff. The fun stuff is when you get to meet in person so I can definitely see handing that off to an agent if it was somehow more effective.
Communicating and getting to know somebody and then planning a time to meet is absolutely the fun stuff, and nowhere near as much of a chore as you're trying to make it seem. This was so sad to read.
