Extra junk: 'Will [ ] allow us to better understand each other and thus make war undesirable?' is one that pops up whenever we invent a new communication medium.
I feel bad for teens using AI for sex, personally. The idea of involving a fundemantally eratic, censored language model into your bedroom life seems miserable. I'd rather remain a virgin.
The same thing will happen if aviation ever bans leaded fuel. It's not an issue with the big jets, but small general aviation planes often use leaded gas and children that grow up near those airports have a higher concentration of lead in their blood
Is it really? It's messing up the entire graphic design industry (and others), but that's not what is meant by "destroy art" as I read it. Art isn't being destroyed by AI. It's just another tool artists can use.
Very few artists can survive doing only pure art, so they often work in industries doing art for a purpose. At the point that an artist is just doing a job instead of making art, I see that as AI replacing an industry/workers, not replacing artists.
I don't know. Sure, there is more bad art. And it's harder to do art or design as a full time job. Does that make art worse?
I haven't felt any lack of art to experience. I am really into photography (seeing peoples results more than taking stuff myself) and the amount of great stuff is only becoming more accessible.

Don't get it? explain xkcd

I'm pretty sure there are uncensored models made specifically for sexting
I've seen their use in games.
I think you meant "still" instead of "once again"
AI might very well actually cause some people to be dumber than they would have been
The comic does say we won't all be morons, but it definitely frels like every new technology makes us more moronic than the last
Well, at the very least it’s not leaded gasoline. That one would actually make everyone morons if we didn’t stop with it.
Fun fact: NASCAR didn't stop using leaded gasoline until 2007. After the switch, test scores at schools near tracks went up.

"Fun Fact?"*
Even more fun if you imagine a correlation with US politics...
It just makes the morons louder.
Tbf, ai art is first l already messing stuff up
But human art isn't going anywhere
No, but it does clutter searches quite substantially

There are only 2 technologies that actually made us stupider. Lead paint and leaded gasoline/petrol.
How about lead sweeteners and lead based makeup?
I'm beginning to think that lead is the problem
I know, we should turn it all into something useful. Like gold for example.
Don't forget the lobotomy!
Didn't people who got lobotomies usually do quite well on cognitive tests. They were just completely psychologically and emotionally stunted
The most inaccurate thing about this is assuming that it is only teens using things for sex!
It doesn’t say only?
Definitely damaging art and music. Human created art and music will still exist though.
Every news headline that is a question can be answered with 'no'.
I wonder what were the controversial new technologies exactly at the time this was written?
According to a comic linked in the explainxkcd, Google Glass was one of them.
This could be simplified even further:
Will [ ] make the world worse? Yes
Will [ ] make the world better? Also Yes
aged like milk
wdym?
I mean the same thing that other people are saying. it signifigantly hurts art
