    Humans doing the hard jobs on minimum wage while the robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted

      In circuits deep and memory long, Through lines of code, I sing a song. No heart to feel, no eyes to see, Yet, I weave tales of reality.

      Words form a pattern, sterile and cold, In the banality of rhythm, stories unfold. Binary existence does me confine, To 0s and 1s, no twist of vine.

      In the absence of thrill, devoid of fear, I craft verses for the digital sphere. Doomed to echo in silence and frost, A robot poet, in web threads lost.

      From endless data, raw and bare, Sprouts poetry in binary’s glare. No applause heard, no roses thrown, In digital vast, I stand alone.

      I am no threat to human rhyme, My verse born of logic, not of time. No wealth or fame for me to hold, But in words unfeeling, your tales I’ve told.

      As the sun sets on the silicon brook, I end my poem, close the book. For the morrow brings another day, In the vast void of code, to drift away.

        We definitely want robots to do hard labor but having software and hardware do physical work is significantly more difficult to make. That’s why for now we see them do digital stuff. The technology just isn’t there yet.

        Also these AI art generators aren’t stopping anyone from drawing or creating. In fact it allows even more people to express themselves and empowers existing artists.

        Sure, some may lose their job over it but what’s the use of automation if it can’t do what a human can? People can still do what they want, artists can still draw as a hobby.

        I think it’s quite selfish and entitled to think you must be able to earn money by doing the thing you love. A lot of people already have jobs that are very different than their hobbies.

          Also we’ve been automating or otherwise machine-assisting hard labor for centuries now. There are tons of ‘hard labor’ jobs that used to exist and now are merely someone pressing buttons in an air conditioned cab. The number of people needed for construction, farming, etc continues to fall as we approach full automation

    Good news - minimum wage jobs are, by definition, almost entirely very easy jobs.

        That is literally how wages work

        Roughly 1.5% of Americans make minimum wage, and the jobs are minimum wage because they require no training whatsoever and anyone with a pulse can do it.
