Some art forms are safe for a long time, or maybe forever. I'm thinking about performance art, theater, ballet, conceptual art, etc. Because even if a robot could dance or sing, I wouldn't watch it. Or rather: yes I would watch it once out of interest, but I would also keep watching humans do that stuff. Just as people watch real chess matches and not AI's completing a match in 0.1 second.

Therefore it seems extremely unlikely these jobs/skills will be obsolete in a few years. The 'masses' are often not interested in theater anyway, so even if they only consume AI art, there will still be a paralel society that enjoys real theater, dance, etc. And they will pay for it as well, just as they do now.

I fully believe AI could build a routine like performers, or copy it/mimic. Your point is strong, these are the types of things people will still pay people to do.. However, brings me to my question: When are we going to mandate AI created things be, labeled as such.. I can see a human like robot doing these performances and no one knowing its a robot. We're going to need to tackle that issue sooner than later... As its already happening with AI generated art.

Why would anyone bother making a robot ballerina? What issue does it solve/who makes money off it?

idk, we have a robot that can do parkour so... /s

It'll only happen at scale once robots are cheaper than humans. but this is a hypothetical anyway...?

I feel like people forget companies run these, the end dollar is all that matters.. A robot copying a human with tracking on, isn't going to be difficult, they wont even need advanced AI for the robots like, say Elon's bot. (honestly forget it's name...whatever)

Why would anyone bother making an assembly line working robot arm when we have humans? Money.

Elons bot is a gigantic piece of useless crap lol. I think you very much underestimate how incredibly difficult that is to accomplish which you describe.

Wasn't saying elon's bot is the answer, was saying it wouldn't need as strong of an AI like that would..

Robots are getting rather light footed and getting better, I don't see this being a problem in 10-15 years, if not earlier.

Edit: Like this isn't smooth by performance standards, but programming a routine is all that happened here... You can program a better routine with a lighter robot.. One not built for military. https://www.webpronews.com/boston-dynamics-robots-dance-together/

I think it's more than just what we want. It's also about what we need if AI automates most jobs. Artists need to make a living creating things and audiences need ways to make money other than ubi and a 9-5, which would be non-existent. So we'll adapt our business models to fulfill these needs by tokenizing the economy and creating more direct channels between consumers and creators so they can both make money off of creative pursuits.
