When a car goes 25 mph nobody cares. That’s what it was designed to do.
When a human being runs 25 mph, it’s an accomplishment because a HUMAN BEING achieved it.
Nobody gives a shit if a machine spits out the code, art, and animations and creates a game. The reason games are successful comes from people experiencing the developer’s own vision. It’s not just about the product and the profit, it’s about seeing people’s ideas come to life through their own work.
Here’s a hard-to-swallow pill for people who support AI: Having dreams and ideas is not actually impressive, everybody has them. It’s putting in the effort yourself to make them happen that makes it impressive, and if you think people will still appreciate that when you used an AI to do the hard work for you then you clearly don’t know what it means to truly create.
What an absolute waste of a decade. Imagine where we���d be if we had spent this time building a more equitable society. Instead everything is more expensive, you can smell the hate in the air, and people with Masters Degrees are struggling while the worst people on earth are making themselves richer. And I can’t think of one person in my life who supported this or didn’t who is actually doing better as a result of it. A decade of pure misery for no good reason.
