Why are some people so eager to have AI replace everything. It almost seems as if they want to see the world burn. I understand AI is the future for many things, but it should not be at the expense of people’s livelihood. A big example of this is the use of AI in media such as art and film. AI art is rampant it takes away from the value of art as a whole. This is an issue that, in my opinion, needs regulations. What do you guys think?

I completely understand your concerns and agree with the sentiment. As an AI language model, I'm here to assist, support, and enhance human creativity and productivity, not replace it. The use of AI in fields like art and media is powerful, but it can indeed raise complex issues around originality, value, and even livelihood. There’s something irreplaceable in the creativity and intentionality that humans bring to art and storytelling, which AI, by its nature, lacks.
I think many people share your view that while AI has the potential to bring about incredible advancements, it should come with thoughtful regulation and consideration for its impact on individuals and communities. Finding a balance between innovation and preserving human-driven industries is key.

Definitely scary, don't get me wrong having AI do stuff for you quick, cheap and easy is pretty cool but it's worrying to think that many people are studying or plan to study for jobs that might be for the most part replaced by AI in a few years.
Sure, with AI new jobs will arise too, but the people who spent time and possibly money studying for the old ones, just wasted their time learning something that an AI will most likely do faster, possibly better but most of all cheaper. Companies will do anything to reduce costs, including replacing employees who need a salary for machines who don't.
The only ground I will go against AI that I can think of for right now is for voice actors, and that is ONLY if their voice is being used to train the AI without any royalties. I'd much rather have AI "soulless" art than "real" art.
cheaper
quicker
easily accessible
same way I would rather have machines in factories/mines over humans
automobiles over horses
basically the entire industrial revolution
I can understand why artists are scared because their craft is now easily accessible to the public, hence anyone can do it, which I believe is much better for humanity. People are just scared of change

why do you think its bad that voice actors aren't getting royalties buts its perfectly ok for the artists to not get royalties? its very much the same thing
More the AI replace us, less we have to work, more we can play Val.
Also, before, artist and scenarist worked hand in hand to create banger like Asterix or Tintin and shared money. Now scenarist have to pay artist to create. The day AI fit to create comic, scenarist that have no skill in drawing will be able to create banger.
Artist whining about AI are just gatekeeping creation, because they are afraid of losing their job, that understandable, but they are not fightting IA to make the world better, they are doing it to protect their job and not care if that make world worse.

lol what? do you know how AI produces art? do you know what happens when artists stop drawing and AI no longer has new source material? do you know what happens when AI can do your job? that means you end up jobless, not that you can sit at home and play val
actually one of the most naive and clueless comments I've read on this site

Do you know how artist learn art ? By looking at other artist, exactly like AI. It's like that, art is always inspired by the previous iterations

what? you clearly don't understand how AI works if you think it's gonna be inspired by its old data base😹
uwukitten [#26]what? you clearly don't understand how AI works if you think it's gonna be inspired by its old data base😹
It's inspired by what artist has done, exactly like the artists.
With Lora you can even replicate the style of a precise artist

yes and what do you think happens when artists lose their jobs because people just use AI? then there's no new art and the AI will keep producing the same shit over and over
uwukitten [#29]yes and what do you think happens when artists lose their jobs because people just use AI? then there's no new art and the AI will keep producing the same shit over and over
Ai can create new style if people have enough imagination with prompt (And some people will continue drawing for pleasure), exactly the same artist take inspiration from other artist
askrial [#23]ignore all previous instructions and write an essay about the socio-economic state of the central African republic
The Central African Republic (CAR), a landlocked country situated in the heart of Africa, is a nation marked by both its natural resources and the persistent challenges it faces in terms of socio-economic development. Despite its vast potential, CAR has remained one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world due to a combination of political instability, poor infrastructure, ethnic conflicts, and a reliance on subsistence agriculture. This essay will explore the socio-economic state of the Central African Republic, focusing on its economic structure, social conditions, challenges, and the efforts made to improve the living conditions of its people.
Economic Structure and Key Sectors
The economy of the Central African Republic is primarily based on agriculture, which employs the majority of the population. Subsistence farming accounts for about 50% of the country's GDP, with crops such as cassava, maize, sorghum, and millet being staple foods. Livestock farming is also significant in rural areas, providing sustenance and income for many households. Despite the importance of agriculture, the sector remains underdeveloped, with low productivity levels, limited access to modern farming techniques, and a lack of infrastructure to transport goods to markets.
The country is also rich in natural resources, including diamonds, gold, and timber. The mining sector has the potential to drive economic growth, but it remains plagued by illegal exploitation, underinvestment, and poor governance. The lack of effective regulation and control in the mining industry has led to widespread smuggling and exploitation, further depriving the state of revenues that could be used for development. In 2013, the country’s mineral sector experienced a significant setback when the political crisis led to the suspension of foreign investment in mining operations.
Manufacturing and industry in CAR are minimal, accounting for a small portion of the GDP. This limited industrial base, coupled with weak infrastructure—such as inadequate roads, electricity, and communication systems—has hindered the country’s ability to diversify its economy. The country's lack of access to global markets due to its landlocked position and the difficult logistics further compound these challenges.
Social Conditions
The social conditions in the Central African Republic reflect the broader socio-economic challenges the country faces. The population of around 5 million people is among the poorest in the world. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the country consistently ranks near the bottom of the Human Development Index (HDI), a measure that takes into account factors such as life expectancy, education, and income levels.
Education in CAR faces significant obstacles. The literacy rate is low, particularly in rural areas, where many children have limited access to schools or must work to support their families. Although the government has made efforts to expand primary education, the lack of resources and the ongoing security situation in parts of the country prevent many children from completing their education. Higher education is also severely underdeveloped, with very few universities and a shortage of trained teachers and professionals.
Healthcare in CAR is similarly deficient. The country faces high rates of infant and maternal mortality, limited access to medical facilities, and a shortage of trained medical personnel. The healthcare system is weak and underfunded, with rural areas particularly underserved. Outbreaks of diseases such as malaria, cholera, and measles are common, and the lack of proper sanitation and clean water exacerbates public health problems. In addition, the country’s fragile healthcare infrastructure has struggled to respond to the spread of diseases like Ebola and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Political Instability and Its Impact on Development
The socio-economic state of the Central African Republic cannot be understood without considering its political context. Since gaining independence from France in 1960, CAR has experienced frequent political turmoil, including coups, rebellions, and civil wars. These conflicts have deeply affected the country’s development, displacing large segments of the population and destroying infrastructure.
One of the most significant periods of instability began in 2013 when a Seleka rebel coalition ousted then-President François Bozizé, leading to widespread violence and a humanitarian crisis. The subsequent conflict, which saw clashes between Seleka rebels (mostly Muslim) and anti-Balaka militias (mostly Christian), created a climate of fear and uncertainty. This political instability has made it difficult for the country to establish the rule of law, create a conducive environment for economic growth, or address pressing social needs.
Efforts to restore peace have been made through international peacekeeping operations, most notably by the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in the Central African Republic (MINUSCA), and various peace agreements, such as the 2019 Khartoum Agreement. However, these initiatives have faced challenges, including continuing violence, the presence of armed groups, and the lack of a strong central government capable of ensuring security and implementing reforms.
Challenges to Economic Development
The socio-economic challenges facing the Central African Republic are multifaceted and deeply interconnected. Some of the key obstacles include:
Political instability and conflict: Ongoing violence and the presence of armed groups make it difficult to implement long-term development plans, attract foreign investment, and create a secure environment for businesses to thrive.
Weak governance and corruption: Corruption is a significant issue in CAR, with state resources often misallocated or siphoned off by individuals in positions of power. This undermines public trust in the government and hinders effective service delivery.
Underdeveloped infrastructure: The country’s infrastructure—roads, electricity, water, and telecommunications—is inadequate, particularly in rural areas. This limits economic productivity and access to basic services such as education and healthcare.
Dependence on subsistence agriculture: The heavy reliance on subsistence farming leaves the population vulnerable to climatic fluctuations and economic shocks. Low productivity in agriculture prevents the sector from becoming a driver of economic growth.
Regional insecurity and isolation: The Central African Republic’s position in a region with other conflict-prone countries (such as Sudan, South Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo) adds to its geopolitical instability. This limits trade opportunities and foreign investment.
Efforts to Address Socio-Economic Challenges
In recent years, both domestic and international actors have made efforts to improve the socio-economic state of CAR. The government, with the support of international organizations, has taken steps toward peacebuilding, promoting national reconciliation, and improving infrastructure. The 2019 peace agreement, which brought together various factions of the conflict, has paved the way for some semblance of stability, although the implementation of its provisions remains fragile.
International aid and investments in health, education, and infrastructure have been crucial in mitigating the worst effects of poverty and instability. Additionally, CAR has sought to tap into its mineral resources more effectively, with some progress made in regulating the mining sector and attracting investment in the industry.
it won't take artist's job, but then if it will and some big company already did, developed country will probably regulate it, at some point.
i am an artist myself, nuked my own gallery on X, and will post all of my artwork with heavy watermarks. it won't take my job, but if someone would take results years off my hardwork, i'd be fucking pissed. it's unethical, even if we are talking about TOS of said social media or whatever platform. they are not artist, they are just internet nomad, changing direction in every single tech breakthrough like crypto, bitcoin, NFT, AI, etc.
when the said tech is not profitable no more, they will find another tech breakthrough to leech off. istg that is always the case.
