> The goal should be to put everyone out of a job.

Yeah, but why does it need to take the fun jobs first, like painting, writing poems, coding, making music, ...

I want the AI to cook, do the dishes, take out the trash, etc.

Well, because consuming art, reading poems, having code written for you that solves a problem, and listening to music is also fun. Recently I wanted a grand elegy to Britain written as the Empire started failing and set to music in a specific style. I had it playing in the background while fixing some issues with some software.

It truly was joyful to have this available to me. It didn’t have to have mass appeal or need me to pay the right artists the right amounts. I had it in moments.

It’s a wonderful world.

Citation needed. Do you have an example of someone in the arts losing their job because of AI?
