Modern society was partly possible due to the printing press. Yep, it sucks that people had their jobs replaced and if it were happening now I'd be fighting for them to be looked after, as they should.

Generating art is not some amazing world changing technology, it's trash. We do not need to replace artists, and frankly we just fucking shouldn't.

If it's so trash it won't replace them right? So there's no issue.

Plus these neural networks could be the stepping stones to a truly transformative technology and in 100 years someone will be saying exactly what you said about the printing press.

Hate for AI is a meme at this point.

Tell that to Disney, for example. It wouldn't replace artists in a world that cared about artistic quality... we don't live in that world.

For capitalists, easily generated shit is good enough.

That's down to the audience. If people won't accept it then it won't be done. If people do then why wouldn't they.
