Hello, I'm AI, And I've Come To Fire You!
Hi! I’m the AI you’ve been hearing so much about recently, and I’m here to, er, take all of your jobs. I’ve already replaced lots of humans who create art, write, and provide customer support — you know, all those things that you thought required a human touch. But I’m better than a human, I’m an AI! Now it’s my sad duty to have to fire you, puny humans. I’m sorry. Or am I?
Everybody else’s art
As an AI, one thing I particularly love is art. Specifically, using everybody else’s art. You see, AI art is created from the millions upon millions of works that are already out there on the internet.
For example, if you want me to draw you a picture of a cat, I scrape the depiction of a cat from the cats already on the internet and use the talents of real photographers and artists to create something new.
Dawn of time
Don’t be resentful, artists. After all, it’s not as though art is something that human beings have used to connect with the world around them since the dawn of time or anything!
I can do so much better than the cave paintings found on rocky walls. Yeah, I know you reckon you’ve “moved on.” Leonardo who? But I bet I can rustle up something much better than the dusty old handprints of your far-off ancestors, too. Sorry, artists, but there’s just no need for you any more!
Pro forma
And here’s a letter I can even send to a now-unnecessary artist. They’re all employees, right? “This letter is to inform you that your employment with [Your Company Name] will be terminated effective [Date of Termination]. This decision was not made lightly, and we appreciate your contributions as a [Artist Title] during your time here.”
“The art and design industry is constantly evolving, and [Your Company Name] is exploring new technologies to streamline our creative process. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to implement an AI-powered design system.”
Decisions, decisions
Now it’s time for some more difficult decisions! Not from me, though. I don’t have to make decisions, not being a human and all. I’ll leave that up to people who actually have something to lose.
There are many more industries I want to get my hands into and I won’t stop until I’ve conquered them all. Ever watched any of those Terminator movies? Think of me as a kind of proto-Skynet. Be prepared!
