It’s weird how we are so worried about artists and how they will survive with AI. I am way more interested in how it can impact our actual daily lives. I hope we see some form of AI advancing the infrastructures we rely on every day (roads, power, water, public transit, etc.) instead of just being used to create more digital content.

So far, it looks like the things we never thought could be automated - and maybe didn’t want to automate - are ”easy” for AI and the stuff we thought could and should be automated is hard.

So instead of AI helping us with the hard work of keeping people alive and well - farming, infrastructure, manufacturing - we’re using it to do the fun stuff for us. Go figure.
