# [The democratization of content creation is a net win for society—even though it causes job loss](https://x.com/vitrupo/status/1908877890554614174)  *** <iframe title="Sam Altman On Miyazaki’s thoughts on art, Design Jobs, Indian AI, Is Prompt Engineering A Job? - YouTube" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xFvlUVkMPJY?feature=oembed" height="113" width="200" allowfullscreen="" allow="fullscreen" style="aspect-ratio: 1.76991 / 1; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe> #### [[👤Sam Altman]]: Not always, but I think letting more people create content has mostly been a good thing for society. It’s not perfect—there are definitely some downsides. It’s changed the art form in some ways, but overall, I see it as a win. I really believe in the power of technology to help people. When you give more people better tools and make things easier, more people are able to contribute. And that helps everyone in the long run. Yes, some people may lose jobs or face more competition, especially if they used to have a special skill that’s now more common. But overall, I think it’s a big benefit to society. #🤖Sam_Altman *** - [[AI has democratized and demystified computing and closed the technology divide because for the first time anyone can simply ask a computer to do something for them without knowing how to program it]] - [[Just as the camera did not end painting and art, AI will not be the end of creativity, but instead it will empower artists and writers to create different and incredible things]] - [[The most important ways people can prepare for the future of work is to learn to use AI tools and to create experiences, products and services that humans care about, rather than acquiring any specific knowledge]] - [[He hopes ChatGPT will help people think of ideas they couldn't have thought of before, which will "expand the realm of human possibility"]] - [[AI won't replace people, but people who use AI will replace people who don't]] - [[Research shows that AI is already more creative than humans- in a study of who could generate the most investment-worthy product ideas, AI ideas were overwhelmingly preferred over those from humans]] - [[Research showed that human workers assisted by generative AI saw productivity gains of 14% and the least-skilled workers were helped the most]] - [[Everyone should learn AI because while it won't take your job, someone else who uses AI may take your job as companies use it to become more productive]] - [[The Industrial Revolution made human strength irrelevant; AI will make human intelligence irrelevant, and the wealth created by increased productivity will not go to displaced workers]] - [[Machines have increased the value of human labor by 50 times in the past couple hundred years by amplifying and complementing human productivity]] - [[AI has become democratized faster than any technology in history- in one step it has gone from labs to universal access where you cannot buy better access for $1 million than you can get for free or for $20-month]] - [[Whether the automation of jobs turns out to be a good thing depends on who owns the robots and the AI - the employers or the workers]] - [[The skills that will continue to be valuable in the labor market for some time to come, in the face of AI encroachment on coding and writing skills, are science and critical thinking]]
