True, AI and automation will take away tens of million jobs by next few years.... The only field that may remain safe from AI & Robots, is of "Content Creators"... So content creators, take heart. As long as you continue to use creativity, enthusiasm for what you write, and make those connections to target audience, you will always have work in this Internet world and Steemit will be the platform in future that may provide jobs to millions of Content Creators...
Yes, I have a theory on why so many are uncreative too ;)
But, I do think that in the future places like Steemit have a chance to close some income gaps and help people explore real talents rather than corporate skillsets.
I dunno, AI is already making art and music. What's to keep the music industry from pumping the AI music with it's marketing and not having to pay artists at all? Algorithms could even analyze my art and create art that's similar - WAY faster than I could ever paint.
indeed so there has to be something more right?
I've written a program to generate music in the past. These algorithms basically find patterns in music and use probability distributions to generate new patterns to mimic human-produced music. There is an inherent lack of creativity here, but it remains to be seen whether machines can compete with human artists using such a process. But human artists have the upper hand when it comes to outside the box creativity.
