@TV4Fun Love how you use Luddite as a slur when you brought up exactly why the Luddites existed. The Luddites didn't smash looms because they hated and feared technology. They smashed the looms because they were skilled craftspeople who were being run out of their trades and ruined by bosses who bought the machines and paid poverty wages to the laborers who ran them. Real artists and creative workers see A.I. the same way. To quote a wise man: "A.I. provides the wealthy access to skill while taking away access to wealth from the skilled." Look at the current state of consumer goods following the suppression of the Luddites. Flimsy goods of inferior quality rife with planned obsolescence. I don't want to see art become the same.
