At some point in the last decade, the ~~ostensive~~ ostensible goal of automation evolved from savings us from unwanted labor to keeping us from ever doing anything.

It says something important about this "revolution" that it's starting with replacement/replication of art, not labor or manual drudgery work.

Does it? I'd imagine it just makes sense that the tech used for AI in art would be used for art.

I don't see how it would be used for labor without a bunch of other steps.

And as also pointed out, there's tech that, while not specifically "AI", is used to replace labor.
