Which dystopian sci-fi is this?

Oh, just irl normal studio things?
Business as usual?

Removing your artists from the creation of art surely will improve the quality of that art, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

I didn't believe in the soul until I saw what art looked like without it.

I could see AI taking over a lot of storyboarding and preliminary drafts of stuff to a degree. But vfx? I guess it depends of the vfx but we're not there yet on most things I thought? Unless they mean like a visual auto tune which could maybe work?

Regardless we need to figure out how to operate society as automation continues to accelerate, replacing jobs faster than we can spin up new ones and retrain people. A lot of people are going to starve if we don't have a solution in place. Here's to hoping capitalism chokes itself to death with minimal loss of life

Lol "capital-efficient content creation".

I bet this turns out to be Always Indians technology like Amazon's grocery store.

Yeah you know what actually, you have a good point. Thus far, it seems ‘ai’ in a lot of instances just amounts to outsourcing labour to countries with lower wages etc. should be illegal imo.

Oh yay! More movies that no one will even bother to pirate. It sucks so bad no one will even try to steal it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I know for sure that bored people watch almost everything. During Corona there were movies on Netflix trending, which wouldn't have been anything but a dud (mediocre at best: Extraction, now gets its third sequel).

I doubt quality is the measure here, sadly.

The movies have already been pirated to create them - you wouldn't steal from a pirate, now would you?

Wait, this pirate wants to sell it's wares as it's own IP?
Oh, it's just a thief & a scammer then.

Does this fall under an existing type of wealth accumulation/extraction or are we looking at something new and novel?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I don't recall the name but it's the same as when factory work was automated, causing problems for places like Detroit. It's perhaps a bit more targeted but it falls under the same category of extraction.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago

Sort of. AI doesn’t actually work. So.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

Can't SAGAftra do something about this? Was this not included in the strikes earlier?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

Man I hope that if AI companies indeed take over all those kinds of jobs, they'll start putting extortional subscription prices on companies who decided to fire the professionals.

Products won't be any better, probably won't be produced any faster, and I hope they will be produced at the same price if not higher.

Add another to the pile of Do Not Pay For.

You won't donate to the great AI??

The coming AI singularity gods will remember you not sharing your electricity with hungry AIs in their hour of need.
Skynets mission will be validated even more.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, I'll use AI. I'll even say thank you when gpt spits out a good result. The AI itself, I don't have a problem with, it's the people currently primarily using the AI.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah, I understand & agree.

Then again, taking people out if the equation vastly improves most things.
