The REAL Fight Over AI Art

We are looking at the job replacement in the wrong direction. Jobs and making money has to fundamentally change. Eventually humans will have very little to do physically. The act of living will in and of itself be the benefit when compared to AI and computers. Soon, we won't need truck drivers. This is a much larger issue than artists being out of a job. You could have all of the artists in the world be laid off and nothing will fundamentally change after 1 years time outside of the economic impact of these individuals no longer in the job and tax pool. However, remove even a double digit amount of truck drivers and the economy will begin to suffer tremendously. If we are using AI trucks to deliver our goods, this will be a massive economic sector in shambles. I am not a truck driver. Just a realistic technology nerd. Typewriter machinists, typists and people who were called "computers", which involved mostly women typing out commands for early versions of computers (1940's-50's) were once a big industry that drove innovation and problem solving. Now we have to some how come up with the hardest problem of all...how do you involve an ever growing number of human beings into a job market that will slowly no longer need a human's interaction for many industries. Sure, some industries will HAVE to involve a human being. But a good thought experiment for everyone would be to think about all of the things they do on a daily basis that a full life-size robot couldn't do for them. Same with your job -- how much of your job is just sending X to Y or things that could easily be automated? My bet is that for most people, the answer is "a lot". Human population is nearing 8 billion. Our ever increasing desire to innovate and improve has led us to this moment of needing to plan for our future. But judging by our past -- we likely won't do what is necessary and what is essential to get things done in a society while being able to support a family and ensure they have all that they need while also wanting the latest and greatest. 100 years from now we won't need the very important job in a free society - news reporters. Everything can be generated automatically and turned into flawless speech and we can even tune biases and inflections weighted towards what our own political desires are. Just k*ll me now! lol  MAGA bot, NO!!!!!
