Today I've entered my next existencial crisis phase. AI is fascinating and impressive, yet it is disgusting that we want to push these boundaries. I am not sure if it's going to replace artists (including Youtubers, actors, musicians etc.). But I want to advice everyone to stay away from it. Please stay away from it.
It will not be long until deepfakes surface that feel real and non-distinguishable. It's already happening with certain Youtubers. But think of manipulating political debates or faking crime evidence. Once this happens, AI will be a super controversial topic, there will be new laws for it, programs to unveil if an image is legit or not. And you will be screwed if you have been dependent on it.
If AI succeeds however, there is the danger of many people losing their jobs over this, and a feeling of being worth nothing in the industry anymore. The world of art will fade, and I will be happy to die with it. I am currently scared as hell.
Please consider this and try to stay away.
