![]() ![]() I don’t mean to be dismissive of your concerns, though. I do have some serious concerns about AI, mainly regarding its potential use by bad actors (deepfakes, etc.), but I see no reason to ignore its existence or to impose a blanket boycott of all AI-generated projects (as long as they’re clearly labeled as such).Ĭreative people have had to adapt in the face of other technological advances, and I have faith that they’ll be able to do so this time as well. I’m just pointing out that AI is a tool, and new tools tend to make certain tasks, and the people who performed them, redundant. Steeler Mascot Troy, whose real name is Mike Dapcevich, was just like any other Steeler fan around Pittsburgh. However, everything goes just a little deeper with Mascot Troy from the beginning. I don’t mean to sound indifferent to those job losses, of course. Very quickly, Mascot Troy, who dresses head to toe like Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu, became a recognizable and famous face amongst Steelers fans. A writer losing their job to AI would be a drag for that writer, but is it any worse than, say, a stableman losing his job as cars replaced horses? Or a metal-type typesetter losing her job after the development of digital type? Or all the people at Kodak who lost their jobs as digital cameras replaced film? Or any of the jillions of other examples I could cite? As a creative professional myself, I’m well aware that AI poses a threat to some writers’ jobs, potentially even my own.īut honestly: So what? Advances in technology have always rejiggered jobs and professions.
