Who would have ever imagined that one of the first groups to be unemployed by AI would be artists?

I can imagine a new chain of mall stores where you come in and a counselor creates a series of prototypes after chatting with you. Pick the one you want and they will 'paint' and frame it while you wait.

>Jason Allen, a video game designer in Pueblo, Colorado, spent roughly 80 hours working on his entry to the Colorado State Fair’s digital arts competition. Judges awarded him first place, which came with a $300 prize.

I don't know, 80 hours sounds like a lot of human labor for something that's described as a replacement for human labor.

But he could probably make the next piece in 80 minutes, if not 80 seconds.

Perhaps, if he completely omits quality control and tweaking. Most of everything ever artist makes is by their own standards garbage or rough work to be discarded.

With a looser definition of Artificial "Intelligence": Calculators used be be a human profession before being replaced by Computerized Calulators

With All sorts of Artificial "Intelligence" rapidly becoming commonplace, it's easy to discount past strides in "Intelligence" - Even though they are so pathetic in comparison to the supercomputer in your pocket...

The vast majority of artists are unemployed.

I also love that your vision of the future of this happens in a mall. I genuinely find it charming.

I had the same idea for a business, but it would just be a photo booth at an arcade.
