Is this the newest round of cope?

There is only a noticeable difference between handmade art and AI art right now because the technology has been available to the public for less than one calendar year.

Before you know it there will be no way to discern between the two, especially as AI (soon) progresses into music and video.

There will be no qualitative differences.

It truly astonishes me how shortsighted people are about this technology in particular.

There seems to be some weird concensus that, just because the models aren't perfect right now, that this tech is just going to be another tool for "real artists" to use.

In reality, the next decade is going to see the near entire replacement of artists at every level of creation, and in multiple fields. Photography is just the beginning, music and video will soon be the next pieces to fall.

You can sit there and say things like "It doesn't have a soul / I don't even LIKE the images made by AI / It'll always need human input!" all you want, but stop and ask yourself when the last time was that technological progress stopped just because a small group of people felt threatened.

Synthetic media is the future of entertainment. The only input it'll need from humans is when you tell it what you want to watch / hear / play.

(Downvote all you want. Won't change anything.)

I personally believe the LEV will be reached by 2050 at the latest, but we'll definitely make significant progress up until that point.

Even if we're not at the LEV, we'll have significantly advanced our understanding of aging and will be able to slow it down a good bit.

If I was a betting man, which I am, I'd wager anyone under the age of 65 has a good chance of making it.
