State and Federal employee organisations might interpret the use of an AI as de-facto 'slavery'- such slave might have no agency, but acts as proxy for the human guiding intellect. These organisations will see workforces go from 1000 humans to 50 humans and x hours of AI 'employment' They will see a loss of 950 human hours of wages/taxes/unemployment insurance/workman's comp.... = their budget depleted. Thus they will seek a compensatory fee structure. This parallels the rise of steam/electricity, spinning jennies, multi spindle drills etc. We know the rise of steam/electricity fueled the industrial revolution. Will the 'AI revolution' create a similar revolution where the uses of AI create a huge increase in industrial output? Farm output? I think it will, so we all need to adapt. A huge change will occur in the creative arts - movies/novels etc. I expect an author will write a book with AI creation - he will then read/polish/optimize = claim as his/her own. Will we see the estate of Sean Connery renting the avatar of James Bond persona to create new James Bond movies? Will they be accepted? will they sell. I am already seeing hundreds of Sherlock Holmes books on youtube as audio books. Some are not bad, obviously formulaic. I expect there are movies there as well. There is a lot of AI science fiction - formulaic = humans win over galactic odds, alien women with TOF etc. These are now - what in 5-10 years. A friend of mine owns a prop rental business, what with Covid and 4 long strikes in the creatives business = he down sized 75% and might close his walk in and go to online storage business with appointments for pickup. He expects the whole thing to go to a green screen + photo insert business with video AI creating the moving aspects of the props he rented(once - unless with an image copyright??) to mix with the actavars - who the AI moves and the audio AI fills in background and dialog. in essence, his business will fade to black in 5-10 years?
