Imagine an on-demand AI agent is launched, access your personal data store (managed by you), including your lifestyle, hobby, diet, cultural background, religious belief, etc., go out searching for products, comparing them with your preferences, and then provide purchase recommendations to you. After the task is complete, this virtual agent will be destroyed.
Take one example about the impacts to artists:
... If this continues, human made art, and the skills associated, will eventually no longer exist. Once this happens, AI image generators will no longer improve as well as machine learning will not have new data to train on, thus repeating the same styles and images over and over again.
Actually, the machines likely continue to learn from previously AI-generated contents, create new combinations of styles and images, that cycle can go forever as the number of combinations are mathematically unlimited.
So, without human artists and human musicians, next generation of children will absorb algorithm-generated arts and music, along with AI-generated children's books, and later on, in school age, be taught by AI tutors. In other words, Today, we (human) provide data to train AI; in the future, AI will train human.
