[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Peter Thiel says AI is bad for the "math people" and that the "word people" will be more in demand.....[/quote]
AI can generate "words" as easily as it can generate code.[/quote]

Nope. Not real writing....its still quite bad (even Opus)......it can help you start sure....but a large base in humanities/liberal arts will absolutely help here...[/quote]
lol.  No one cares about "real writing" anymore.   Why do you think there was a Screenwriters strike in Hollywood? They are afraid that AI will take over screen writing.  Would they be scared of that if they thought Hollywood cared about "real writing"?

And AI coding still needs QA.   So, you still need SWE to review AI output, too. [/quote]

I think the real fear in Hollywood is that the cache of the writer, director, et al is worth so much more than the actual product...up to the point that the films or TV shows are flops.

So, if Quentin Tarantino decides he is going to use AI to write scripts for 10 different ideas, he likely can easily sell 3-5 of those scripts because he's Tarantino.  That means that 3 or 4 other screenwriters aren't selling their scripts.

So far, none of the great talent is taking this approach...but if one of them were to get into some $$$ troubles, you could definitely see it happening.

In more practical uses...AI is in fact taking actual hollywood jobs for more of the "sausage-making" jobs.  You don't need storyboard artists much anymore because AI can do it...you don't need people creating background special effects (creating say 10,000 random humans in an FX stadium scene)...Coca Cola used AI to produce some holiday commercials and they saved 95% compared to making a commercial the normal way (the commercial was panned, but Coca Cola didn't care because their sales actually rose, which is all they care about with respect to a commercial).[/quote]
And I will take it further regarding fiction writing.  When self publishing became a thing, you had lots of books out there that were not all that well written.  That didn't stop the industry from taking off.  And I bet you that even writers now use AI for their work product.   People do not care if a book is well written or not. They care about the story line. Now, obviously, if the writing is truly atrocious, that's a different story, but AI can certainly generate decently written material.

Also, AI can generate art, and if you put an AI generated art next to a human generated art, I bet 99% of us can't tell the difference.

So, really, AI is going to be pervasive in all industries, so humanities majors aren't safe from AI, either.[/quote]
