> The diffusion art models make it very clear that these technologies go from toys to replacing people’s jobs very very quickly.
Do you have any evidence that art jobs are being replaced now? I was talking with a designer friend of mine recently and he's not heard of Stable Diffusion, etc. replacing jobs yet. This is something that people keep bringing up but I haven't yet seen any evidence to back it up.
Nah, the differences are (at least) that we're future-oriented, motivated, social, have language, and live long enough to be grandparents. Take that, octopuses.
Also as far as the economy goes, we actually try to participate in it instead of sitting around getting eaten. Maybe we won't succeed in the future though…
The 'proko' channel on youtube has some discussions on this topic from people who know what they're talking about, rather just anecdotal evidence from a sample size of 1.
