Generative AI is Taking the Meaning Away from Some Beloved Jobs
The advancement of generative AI, such as GPT-4 and stable diffusion techniques, has led to the displacement of jobs that people once loved and found meaning in. Jobs like 3D modeling for gaming and coding are being automated, causing individuals to feel a loss of purpose. While automation is necessary for dangerous and monotonous tasks, it is important to consider the impact on jobs that bring fulfillment. The job market for programmers may see a decline in salaries due to the efficiency of AI. As AI continues to replace human tasks, it is crucial to reflect on the purpose of our creations and prioritize jobs that provide meaningful experiences. Ultimately, humanity should build AI for the benefit of humanity, rather than solely for the sake of technology.
