Will computers ever replace humans in creative professions and pursuits? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.
Answer by Taryn Southern, Youtube personality, artist, producer and technologist, on Quora:
At some point, yes. Probably.
Consider how computers have already have replaced a tremendous number of humans in many creative professions. No need for a calligrapher when you can simply download one of thousands of beautiful type-faced fonts right onto your computer. No need for a local photographer for your Christmas photos – your iPhone camera and filters now do just fine. No need for a graphic design artist to create your company presentation when you’ve got 50 free templates to choose from on any number of websites. None of those examples even count as AI, so to think AI won’t in some way replace human creative endeavors would seem a bit shortsighted.
