I’m all for it. I'll be surprised if they get a significant amount of gamers to participate though.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Ooh right as World's is starting.
To be quite honest, their days are numbered. AI voice generation will make these jobs completely obsolete in the next few years.
Don't believe me? Just listen to AI generated music using the voice of famous singers. Voice acting by humans doesn't really have a future, sadly.
Disagree honestly.
AI music isn't inventing sick rifts or using new instruments together. Humans do. We'll continue to make the better music
Voice acting is similar. Without Patrick Warburton AI would never generate such a distinct sound.
Now will companies continue to hire them? That's the argument, but if they don't their product will be bad and we're seeing companies struggling because their products are bad and people don't want them anymore: Starfield, Star Wars Outlaw, Concord, etc.
The thing is, we still have recognizable human voices, so there continues to be a market for that talent. But how long will that last? Once AI generated voices become good enough to create new, recognizable voices, it's game over.

For now, perhaps. It really is only a matter of time before the “algorithm” in these AI music generation tools know what people like to hear, and creates music that hooks them. It doesn't have to be a sick riff, just an earworm that keeps people hooked.
There still may be a market for live musical performances, and I'd still want to see humans on stage. But commercial music? It's too easy for a movie or game producer to enter the prompt: "Errie, slow music with a focus on string instruments." and be done with it.
Sure, some human input will still be required to program a new sound or to tweak the created content, but that won't take the same talent or skill as our current artists.
The only way around this that I can see is to have "Human Verified Content" certification on music, movies, video games, websites, etc., and for people who want to support that content. If enough people simply get used to AI generated art/entertainment, then there's no path forward for these professions.
Yeah, the AI songs are just overlays on an already existing song. Even when making something new the AI has to be "trained" on existing material. They can't make something from nothing... yet.

And that's the important part: "yet".
AI is fairly new, so it only has human-created datasets to work off. But at some point, it'll either generate original content on its own, or rely on content already created by other AI.
The quality and originality of this content will probably be stale, but enough of it will be generated to make money and keep people interested, that I don't think it'll matter. The enshitification of the arts is rapidly upon us.

What you're describing there is called model collapse and it's not a good thing. A generative AI ouroboros accumulates error until its output is useless.

We're already seeing this, but I don't think that will stop people from using AI (with some human oversight). Countless articles are being generated each day using AI, just so that someone can publish a garbage website that gets a lot of views, and reap those sweet advertising dollars. The quality of the content on the internet is eroding, and i don't think we'll be able to put the genie back in the bottle.
I'm seeing more and more legitimate websites no longer using stock images, but AI generated images for their photo content. It's just too easy, so why wouldn't they, right?
