I don’t care how fast AI can pump out “high quality content” because I refuse to consume any of it. I really hope the strikes are successful.

honestly we need legislation that protects arts who use their art as a means to live

No we don’t. They can do something else.

It’s called the free market, baby.

Blue collar workers have been finding new ways to make money ever since the industrial revolution. Don’t be a Luddite.

If these people still want to make art, nobody is stopping them. They just have to get a real job too, like everyone else.

It’s okay. I think they can survive and still lead a higher quality of life than the vast majority of people on the planet.

They just have to get a real job too, like everyone else.

Would you mind expanding on what a “real” vs “fake” job is? I disagree with the premise entirely but i am not taking you with a loaded question, i am honestly curious about what that means to you (and by extension what other people who use that term might mean)

Jobs that are necessary for the survival of our species.
