AI is already making videos and increasing the harm to professionals.
It improves month by month. Do we have a safe plan?
At the beginning I thought AI should be regulated. Now I-m starting to believe that it should be banned.
I still remember the first AI made videos. They where weird and the memorable AI Will Smith eating noodles is far beyond that.
Open AI "achieved" their AI video generation tool. Oh my. That's scary. Goodbye stock footage and we will probably "enjoy" that synthetic material, that RAW footage that's not actual footage on a movie. Obviously, class B movies will be the first ones using it.
If you make a lot of money you won't go for it right away. At least not until you ensured that people will not set you on fire because you use AI to create a movie landscape or even some action scene.
Calms me down... That means that Hollywood will wait a few extra minutes before using it.
The damage that it's causing to a lot of creative people is huge. I took the hit with web development and it wasn't an AI. It's enough with wix and automated store builders to do the ruin magic.
Moreover, as it cuts expenses for a world that uses social media and graphic material made for it to advertise, is growing in use since people saves a lot of money in digital marketing and design.
People, common people. Small businesses not a huge industry. The need to have an extra buck cuts you out of the scene being a professional on the affected areas.
Right now, art and design as well as writing got a stomach punch in matter of how many clients still think or believe your services might be useful while a huge amount thinks that using this "tools" saves them a lot of money. As the math indicates, it does. So there's no second thoughts on it.
You can already see AI powered ads running on every platform. It's already replacing design progressively as a whole because is getting the capability to be consistent with the design/art job.
It will soon be able to create as many poses, scenes draws and videos you like using the same aspect for a character. That leads me to the comic book industry which is inexistent down here but very present and alive on the US and other countries.
AI could give a terrible headache to the independent comic producer and also, to the indie game industry.
At many levels, the overhauling on the market that got saturated with video games and entertainment content demonstrates that a lot of developers are going the same way delegating design on 2D games, textures and general assets to AI.
I've seen a lot of 2D games using AI even if the developer swears that it's handmade. It's not. People usually "hide" the AI using an overpaint and/or filters to get it their way.
The thing until now was consistency. It wasn't able to redraw the same character. to keep the character concept and design and change the rest. Now mid journey is making it able to do so.
As the work offer kicks up because AI solves "most problems" we fell into the offer and demand spiral. We offer a lot of work. We are a lot of people. Yet the market don't need "that much"
I think that Microsoft and almost all tech industry firing people and keeping the ones who can handle both coding and use of AI is a demonstration of the issue here.
A lot of well known media sources alerted about the possibility of loosing jobs and the danger it implies when it comes to automate cutting expenses.
You can't force someone to hire human personal and ignore AI. The system itself will say "where is my freedom?" if you try to force them to avoid AI.
They are right and they are wrong. We don't need to create laws to create obstacles to make it hard to incorporate. We need to regulate it considering that we can't loose employment globally.
Ultimately, this will not end nicely if this tech don't get regulated to avoid a complete disaster.
