I honestly don't understand this downer attitude.

AI is going to make it possible for anyone to make games, movies, programs. It'll automate all the mundane stuff we don't like to do, and it'll let any one of us reach higher than we ever could alone before.

I'm done with churning butter. I'm ready for the flying cars and jet packs.

It’s already possible for anyone to make games, movies, programs.

The problem fundamentally is attention is limited thus all creative endeavors end up having a power law distribution. AI won’t solve that.

It was possible to write before the printing press, too.

AI will be better at writing code, composing music, solving geometry problems, and innovating. Humans will be better at sweeping floors, clearing sewage pipes, and other manual labor.

The problem is we will probably still be churning butter for even less money. Automation was supposed to reduce the work week to 10-15 hours and it resulted in both husband and wife having to work 40 hour weeks to get by as we created new bullshit jobs to fill the empty space. The cream and time savings went to the top. We don’t want to see that happen again with AI.
