i can make you dinner but that doesn’t take away from someone making dinner who knows how to

Another related question: say there’s a guy who wants to make a videogame, has an idea they really want to pursue, but can’t draw and doesn’t want to learn. They want to do the other creative work, but have no desire to actually hire somebody to do the art, they don’t have the money for that. If they automate the process of creating art for the game, does that count as “automating away creative work”?

What if it’s a company who could either make one video game with hand-made art or five without?

I mean yeah. There used to be an artisan who got paid to carve chairs all day and now they just mass injection-mold shitty plastic chairs all day

And you can still make handmade chairs but there’s much less of a market for them. Very few people can get paid good money for it anymore

But the process of automation here adds to the amount of “creative work” in the world, it doesn’t subtract from it. What’s the bad part here?

Ok but it doesn’t

#23847

its not creative work

#23848

…writing and developing the video game is?

#23849

the implication in automaton is that it’ll eventually be fine if it does exist

#23850

The key point of the premise is somebody who wants to do creative work but can’t do part of it. It’s about partial automation

#23851

that’s not included in the message

#23852

just cooperate with someone to make a better whole
