 Hello and welcome and thank you for listening to this podcast from filmsbychris.com. That's Chris the K I'm Chris also with the K and I just I seem to be saying the same thing at each one of these videos So it should hopefully makes you feel comfortable that I'm saying the same thing at the beginning of each of these talks getting you Used to them anyway filmsbychris.com Chris the K today I'm going to talk about a little bit about AI and I want to know what you think about it So be sure to comment below whether you're listening to this on patreon or YouTube I want to know what you think about this this this Not AI in general, but let's talk about AI in advancements theoretical and Taking of jobs. I just watched a video yesterday by the blender guru a talk He did somewhere talking about our is AI going to take jobs away from artists and he went into like how Software is getting better at like rendering scenes out and like taking real-life footage and creating virtual environments from it finding people and animals and creating Motions from them and how much better is getting at and is it really going to take jobs and his conclusion was he thinks over the next 10 or 15 years, I guess that a lot of the grunt work is going to be taken over by computers But the artistic part still going to be taken over is still going to be human done, which is is is a I think a good view Think about Things I've read when it comes to AI and they're talking about how AI is now making music and people can't tell us between that music and music Made by real people. It's composing symphonies and blah blah blah. You know what? That's true And I think that computers could very easily. I mean even without AI I could write a script that randomly generates music that might sound halfway decent if we're talking about, you know Electronic techno or synth wave, which I'm not insulting that stuff at all. I love that type music I listen to it all the time, but it's it's it's very basic and even as it gets smarter It could do more of like a rock sounding song You know with guitars and stuff and maybe sound like a real band playing songs But I think when it comes to that aspect of it, there is going to be still spot for human musicians and that being said I Mean by that is First of all, you know that most music is probably marketed towards teenagers When you're a teenager you're at your most emotional time in your life, usually and and I mean if you're I'm 37 right now getting ready to turn 38 and I love music and a lot of it's very nostalgic to me and But most people the music they listen to when they're in their teens is the music that they they really Feel for and I feel very nostalgic for a lot of it. There's some songs. I listen to From the 90s. There's a few like by my life with a thrill-kill cult Which I only liked a few other songs But there's a few other songs I still listen to and then admittedly I listen to I'm like this really should sound horrible But I really like it and I think part of it is just you know song music I like but also just the nostalgia of it But when you're a teenager things are so emotional and for me my favorite band has been nine inch nails It's just an absolute Trent Reznor is just a genius when it comes to writing music and lyrics Although I wasn't a huge fan of the last album. In fact, it's the only national album I don't own and different some people like some don't it's art. It's it's something. It's an opinion thing. I'm not saying It's horrible. I'm saying I didn't enjoy it but Part of what made his music so good was the lyrics and he was very good about writing lyrics that were very emotional But not very specific and he would say in interviews how he didn't want to really talk about songs I think it was an interview Many many years ago talking about down in it which was his first song Which was actually a he made it in the interview a rip off of a skinny puppy song skinny puppy I think it's name of the band or name of the song. I've listened to it before. I don't remember anyway And the songs are very similar Instrumentally and he's like I'll talk about that because it's an older song So it's about time I talked about but he liked writing songs and not talking about What they were about but his songs were more about emotional and actually that's one of the reasons I still even though there were some newer albums. I liked the music lyrically. I think he felt I felt like he got a little too specific on what he was talking about Like he would have albums that were very much talking about political stuff And not only do I not really care about political stuff that much and don't want to hear it in my songs one way or another His political views seem to be very different than mine But that's I still like the the instruments song But I think he was just being too specific with his lyrics He was trying to get a message across rather than an emotion his older songs were more about emotions where I think his newer songs were more about Just getting his point across But that's where I'm getting at with the AI thing Maybe AI can create a song that sounds just good instrumentally as a Trent and Reznor song and that'd be great I would love that but the lyrics even if AI was able to write lyrics Which I think we're so ways away from them writing lyrics that are really touching and emotional in that aspect Even if they were I don't think it would be as relatable because part of it when you're a teenager and you're listening to these songs That are emotional for you part of it is connecting with that song artist knowing who that artist is and feeling like a connection That wow this person's going through the same thing I am even if they're not even if their song is being vague and you think they're going through You know with Trent and Reznor I'm sure his experiences were very different than mine But the emotions were the same if I knew that was written by a computer I don't think I would have been I might have liked the music, but I wouldn't have been so connected to it So there are definitely aspects of art in there That's still the human element is important even if the music even if the AI can make a great replica of it Instrumentally, there's not going to be that human connection Because because you know it's being faked I guess maybe an AI maybe could write a song like that with great lyrics and then they could Advertise it as a real person hide that it's AI which I would think in my opinion would Should be legal because then that's false or at least misleading advertising if you're saying that's a real person And it's not but advertising can get away with a lot depending on how they word stuff um But there's that aspect of it AI A big concern that people have with it is the whole is it going to take jobs and the answer is yes There's definitely going to be jobs, especially unskilled jobs. There's manual labor stuff But there's also going to be jobs for people still yeah I can go to a fast food restaurant and use a machine to order my food and that took someone's job But there's still going to be if I want to go out and eat at a nice restaurant Part of that experience is having someone serve you having a Waiter a server that you interact with And although that could be replaced with a robot You want that experience and you're going to be paying for that service and you pay more for that service So yeah, a lot of the grunt work just as blender guru said with Uh, the artist part of it. He thinks the grunt work is going to be taken away But there's still going to be that that more defined the more fun Parts of the design for the designer because he said a lot of the grunt work is just like tweaking stuff doing little things you know, uh moving things around and just like fine-tuning it where where He wants to be able to just work on that that more of the the bigger overall creation Was my understanding of his talk and I think that's that's true with a lot of the jobs. I also See and and people can definitely because there's so many different views on this out there when it comes to AI taking jobs Obviously, it's going to be bad for some people and definitely rough at first But really if AI and robots don't turn around and kill us But they keep working for us and there's going to be less jobs. They're still going to the companies That run these businesses Still want to make money And if people don't have jobs and they don't have money at some point like if everyone loses their job Then there's nobody spending money and that's bad for everybody. So there's definitely I think again going back there many many like Probably like 75 years ago There were a lot of people who thought that by this time or even way before this time We'd be down to like a 15 20 hour work week Which would be awesome So I would hope that I think there would be a level of adjustment But I think at some point if if a lot of these ai's are going to take over our jobs that We're going to work less hours But still be a little bit because theoretically and of course there's you know You got corporations are always going to milk you for as much money as you can get But theoretically Things are going to cost less because you're paying less to have them done because you have these machines doing the labor Uh, and it's going to save money So things should be cheaper so you can work less and still get the same things that you were getting because things are going to cost less And I think that eventually get that There's still going to be aspects and and this is all just theoretical Just thoughts I've had and I'm not saying that this is how it's going to be right Definitely think it's going to be like this is just some thoughts I had I think materials are definitely going to be a big thing because you can have machines Mine for the materials you can have machines assemble the materials But you still have to get those materials So it's going to be the people who own the properties where you can get these things But then at the same time you can probably reuse and recycle a lot of stuff where you can um You know, maybe have garbage that you you usually send to recycling then You know recycling plants where they would recycle these things Maybe you'll have a robot that will be able to repurpose these things for you And now you're buying less which might be a bad thing for corporations. There's just it's so unknown and we won't know We won't know what's going to happen until it does happen And it's going to be a long slow process and there are going to be some growing pains But I think overall as long as the ai doesn't kill us That ai is a good thing because I I would love to see and it'll probably be but be you know, I'll be retired By a time we really get to this point to where people don't have to work 40 50 60 70 hours a week um And also if you're in a job that's easily replaceable By ai it's time to start thinking about a new job and I get you know Obviously one of the things a lot of these companies are working on are self-driving vehicles self automated vehicles and um If you're a taxi driver or a truck driver and you've been doing this for years You know, it's going to be a good at least 10 years before that really start taking effect And who knows it's like the timeline on it But for things for these things they still need a lot of work and they then they have to get approval So it's going to be years before going and if you're already in that career great But I know I had a friend just like two or three years ago get his truck driver's license He's still a young guy and he's going to become a truck driver. It's like why would you go into that career? Knowing that that's going to be one of the first jobs that's taken and it's not like that you're just getting a job You go through a lot of work to get one of those those positions But we'll see um, but think about your job think about how easy it is I'm a firefighter That's my day job and I've seen videos of robots learning how to fight fires, which I think is awesome I think it's awesome for multiple reasons One it's going to be a slow transition. It's going to be a look at these robots Yeah, they can walk into a room and fight a fire, but they're not going to be able to crawl through the things at this point the machines that they've created A fire scene is not just an empty room with a fire most of the time I think it's going to be if that was to happen. It's going to be a very slow transition It's going to be fought for fought by a lot of firefighters to prevent that from happening But I see it as an opportunity to up my skill level because they're going to need people who need to Control these these robots and stuff like that I don't think that it's going to be a long long time till they're completely on me And I think at first they're going to be remote So firefighters don't have to go into buildings and fight fires They can be outside the building and send in a robot. I think that'd be great. Um, and I think it would just help protect our lives And a lot of people would disagree with that, you know that we see it as taking jobs But I think something like that Is going to be a slow transition. It's it's not going to happen anytime soon And uh, and if I saw if I thought these robots were ready to To take over firefighter jobs, I would tell people don't become firefighters now I would but I still recommend becoming a firefighter I think it's going to be long after our retire before there's any type of these robots actually taken over But there's still technology increasing that actually makes our jobs better Uh, and safer all the time And I would love to see more of that. Anyway, again, this is just a theoretical theoretical talk Uh, there's so many different things that could come out of AI good and bad. What do you think?
