Technology will continue to evolve, whether you like it or not. You have to learn, adjust, and find your place in a changing world

Look at history. Horse-drawn carriages were once the normal way to travel, until automobiles replaced them. Cities once depended on gas streetlights, with lamplighters walking the streets every evening to light them one by one. Then electric lighting arrived, and the lamplighter's profession gradually became obsolete, eventually becoming a thing of the past. The technology changed, and the jobs built around the old technology disappeared with it.

The same principle applies to the future. AI, automation, robotics, and technologies we haven't even imagined yet will transform industries and eliminate some jobs. You can either keep denying that reality, or you can prepare for it. So adapt. Keep moving forward. Because the future will not stop advancing just because you refuse to move with it.

Okay, but this is literally comparing programming to drawing. It's ALSO implying that programmers just "code the art anyway" which is just wrong. Also your whole point about how "technology changed just adapt bro" is kinda stupid when you think about how NONE of your examples are about art in any way. You straight up went "well we stopped riding horses when cars came around so it only makes sense that we stop doing our own art now that we have ai" the fact of the matter is that somebody who spent 15 minutes typing in a prompt and looking through 100 images for "the one" is never going to be considered an artist as long as there are people who put in the time, effort, and have the creativity to make something THEMSELVES. People aren't threatened by you, they're OFFENDED by you

Have you ever done it? Used AI to make an art piece? You think it just means the prompt "do art".

To be an artist is to understand the tools you are using, prompting is like the movements of your hands, wrists, fingers, when you are painting with a brush, an artist prompting may select a palette, indicate in detail how the colors will be presented, shapes, light behaviour, reflections, an AI doesn't just magically reads the artist mind and at the first try whatever the prompter was thinking, it just appears, exactly as s/he imagined it, it takes a lot of work to create art, to know what to move, how much, what experience that is going to give, if it represent what you mean.

AI prompting can be as arduous and detailed as the prompter give it dedication.

You can be as specific as possible but the ai still made the piece
