I don’t get this. AI bros talk about how “in the near future” no one will “need” to be a writer, a filmmaker or a musician anymore, as you’ll be able to generate your own media with your own parameters and preferences on the fly. This, to me, feels like such an insane opinion. How can someone not value the ingenuity and creativity behind a work of art? Do these people not see or feel the human behind it all? And are these really opinions that you’ve encountered outside of the internet?
It’s called sample bias. You’re only talking about the artists you’ve personally met, not the statistics of artists as a whole.
I also think you’ve got a bias in favor of tech bros because you see them as hard workers, and see artists as lazy elites.
And when I am talking about artists, I’m not talking about the small fraction that are in “high” arts with museums n shit.
It sounds to me that you you don’t really know a lot of artists and don’t really know a lot about this whole situation but still managed to form an opinion.
