AI art is no different to any other form of industrialisation, and not one of these artists really gives a shit about giving up other industrialisation (and the accompanying comfort and luxury at affordable prices) in an effort to keep jobs.

Not that most of these artists do art as a job. Most of it is side hustle stuff for some extra cash.

And it should be said, it's not like I don't feel sorry for them. It sucks learning a skill only to have it replaced by machines. But that's been the status quo of blue collar workers for decades if not centuries. It's only now deemed a "problem" because it's effecting people who are overwhelmingly white collar.

So which way is it gonna be: suck it up princess, or Doctor Theodore Kaczynski was right?
