A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

For the trust issues: Yeah, but on the other hand.
We'll just have to go by figuring out who we can trust again. That's a loss, but not as catastrophic as this article makes it sound.
As for the creativity issues, that's not a new problem at all. Portrait painter used to be a lucrative profession before cameras, for example. If it's only a few types of content (namely the kind that doesn't rely on concept originality in this case) society adjusts with only short term pain. Bug me about when we have GAI in a few years that can do everything or how the shift this will encourage in our society could cause secondary problems instead.
I'm sure glad we're talking about this stuff, though! If AI happened quietly with no debate I'd be much more afraid.
