This won't actually stop filmmaking or creatvity (indie productions are a thing and the internet is a valid alternative to the traditional cinema experience) but it could cheapen the impact of film and other visual/text-based mediums. And generative AI isn't just used for entertainment, it has a far-reaching influence on multiple fields. That's far different to cleaning floors.

And then there's also the chance of an AI being prgrammed to have bias, intentionally or not. There was a minor uproar a while back when it was discovered that ChatGPT refused to write a poem about Donald Trump but would do so for Joe Biden. I'm not gonna go into too much detail to avoid breaching Tokunation's policy on real-life politics, but despite many people's opinions (including mine's) on the guy with the orange hair, this was clear evidence of bias. There's also the fact that generative AI is a language learning model that uses internet content to improve itself. Unfortunately this can also include stuff like slurs, racism, etc.

Generative AI is an incredibly interesting topic to explore, especially as its so new at this point in time and we're only starting to discuss the impact it could have on human society going forward, but to compare it to a simple AI that is used to clean a house or do whatever is like comparing apples and oranges. You roomba cleans your house, not write resumes.

The point of my statement is not the problems and features, but the price. If Chat GPT charged as much for its work as the most mediocre and hungry artist, no one would need it. AI is used in all industries because it is cheaper, faster and allows introverts to avoid unnecessary interaction with people. In all other respects it is identical to its human counterparts. This includes plagiarism, bias and impact on society. You won't deny that people of art also sin with this, right? And here we come to my statement: if a simple and reliable rumba costs much more than the problematic and unfinished ChatGPT, then why does a person doing cleaning earn so much less than a human artist, most often also very problematic? To put it simply, I am not criticizing AI here, but society.
