As the photographic industry was the refuge of every would-be painter, every painter too ill-endowed or too lazy to complete his studies, this universal infatuation bore not only the mark of a blindness, an imbecility, but had also the air of a vengeance. I do not believe, or at least I do not wish to believe, in the absolute success of such a brutish conspiracy, in which, as in all others, one finds both fools and knaves; but I am convinced that the ill-applied developments of photography, like all other purely material developments of progress, have contrib­uted much to the impoverishment of the French artistic genius, which is already so scarce. It is nonetheless obvious that this industry, by invading the territories of art, has become art’s most mor­tal enemy, and that the confusion of their several func­tions prevents any of them from being properly fulfilled.

― Charles Baudelaire, On Photography, from The Salon of 1859

This hasn’t been true for months at least. You really have to check week to week when dealing with things in this field.

I don’t think it’s supposed to solve every problem. Just like very scene in the new Sand Land anime wasn’t 3D, the same goes for every other artistic tool. There are some things are easy with some tools, others it’s not well suited for.

What you have to ask yourself is what ways can it help you with what you’re trying to do.

Things missing collision when you least expect it sucks too.

AI isn’t just LLMs.

The article doesn’t mention LLMs, and many ML related things came out in the last year or two that aren’t LLMs.

Do you have any source for those claims? There are plenty of better reasons to develop voice synthesis than replacing voice actors.
