AI Artists Face Virulent Backlash As Innovators Push Creative Tools

Justine Moore@venturetwinsI fear the hardcore AI haters aren't reading the tea leaves on the entertainment industry. Most people I talk to in Hollywood worry that they're screwed WITHOUT AI - it's gotten way too pricey to produce new content. Jorge said it's a "miracle" to get any new series greenlit... and hopes AI will allow more stories to be told and bring jobs back to LA. Why is he getting canceled??
Hated things eventually turn into brands. And powerful ones.
Robert Scoble@ScobleizerHate of Ferrari’s new vehicle and hate of AI artists in same week. Every comment on @mexopolis’ post is virulently anti AI. (A famous artist who recently started changing his views on using AI in his work). Every paradigm shift has seen resistance movements. But both backlashes are bigger than I have ever seen. A million people protested when Zuckerberg turned on the news feed. When I filmed @A2RLeague racing robots in Abi Dhabi got the same reaction. Huge hatred from people who think auto racing should always be done by humans. Huge backlash against people doing something new. On the other side of the mob there were 8,000 fans in the stands having a great time. And teams of humans running each car. I have lists of thousands of AI artists and a list of 900 companies for creative people and today another tool for creatives is coming. Have been supporting this industry since the beginning. Got me blocked by several. And read every comment under his post. 100% were not happy to say the least with his support of AI. Change is here and people are pissed. What does it all mean? Innovators will be hated. Just like always. Doug Engelbart was fired from the lab in Silicon Valley where he invented so much. Reminds me of talks I gave 18 years ago where people lined up to say I was stupid for pushing social media. Maybe I am stupid but am with the innovators. And always have been. As uncomfortable as that is. If I was a billionaire I would buy one of those new Ferraris. New thinking needs support.
