What he seems to miss is that the AI is a joy to work with as an artist

I never understood why people here (or from the right in general) seems to like AI.
It's going to cause a massive competency crisis when its popular. You think DEI is bad? Wait until everyone is dependent of AI for absolutely everything. People will progressively lose the ability to make any choice, develop their own thoughts, and will just follow AI's orders. I'm not opening that door, ever, even if it simplifies my day-to-day life.
Cheap stuff is almost always the worst stuff. Mass processed food is by far many times worst than naturally grown food, even though it's many times easier to make and in big quantities. AI will be the same, sure you'll have more images than ever, but say good bye to any form of arts with actual thoughts put behind it. Instead, it will just be a bunch of stuff duct-taped together as quickly as possible.
Enjoy your loss of control. Sure, there are programs that are free for now, but the moment AI will be big enough to pose a serious threat to most industries, and thus, most money-making opportunities, say good bye to any free projects, just like how it happened with many other free and open source softwares. That, and AI will get exponentially harder to create and maintain just like any tech, to the point only giant companies will actually be able to invest and maintain it.
At least don't lie to yourself. You're not a mathematician because you're using a calculator to do "sin(45)", and you're not an artist because you used AI to draw some random pictures.
I believe the main reason for the right enjoying all this is that the loudest whining has come from pretentious lefty artists who want government regulation to protect their racket. Everyone thought the robots would take over manual labor first, but AI is taking the jobs of the so-called "creatives", and the irony is delicious as most of those people are apparently communists who believe they will be living in luxury creating art after the glorious revolution while everyone else toils. Most of them never cared about automation replacing jobs until now. Learn2Code.
Personally it doesn't matter if I like it or not. It's pretty much a fact of life, and you adapt or die. We have to have control over our own AI tools, understanding them completely so we can exploit them to help us vanquish our enemies.
That's legitimately scary, though perhaps another generation or two down the line. I actually knew someone who was fine with being completely dependent on Google for truth, and he can't wait until the day he can hook his brain up to a machine to answer all his questions. I don't really see a solution though besides having control over society or avoiding the borgification myself. That doesn't mean I'll avoid using all automation tools though if they make my routine work easier.
