    His statement is so weird. No one said there is no merit in “real” artists. AI just makes it easier for non artists to add pictures into their projects. Like every industrial revolution it just takes work off of us.

      I would love for robots to take over the boring jobs like making art, I think it’s a great advancement that our overlords have engineered for us. Now we can get back to things we really enjoy like shoveling shit and suffocating in mines.

      Thank god they didn’t make robots more useful for everyday life tasks, freeing up a portion of the day. I have a hard enough time deciding what to do with my free 25 minutes every week as it is.

      Got to go, my mining shift at the shit factor… Never mind they made robots to mine shit now, guess I’ll go starve to death in line waiting for free bread crumbs.

        Software to “make” 2d artistic images is much easier to develop than robots to do household tasks. Not that we don’t see advancements there either, for example robot vacuums are becoming more commonplace.

        Robots and automation have been cutting ‘mundane’ jobs for literal centuries.

        Artists are frankly out of touch and callous when they imply other people’s jobs should be replaced.

      Or you could just… learn to draw? Sure it takes a while to learn, sure it takes a lot of time to make things, but it genuinely is worth it for the journey alone.
