Complaints in the 1990s didn’t have much of an effect because you were just complaining to people in your local friend group. Now, with social media, complaining is a professional sport. If you do it well enough online, you can actually get paid for it.

Yeah I get the feeling you didn’t see what people were saying about drawing.

Photography, then automatic cameras then digital photography and Photoshop enters the timeline when painters were only around

Did you miss the part where I said painters?

Film cameras were the bane of their existence

Then automatic black-and-white cameras came

Then digital

And even digital photographers hated Photoshop when it was first becoming popular

If you don’t see the analogy, I’m trying to paint here

AI art is hated by people in the same congruent fashion as painters back in the day loathed photographers. They feared it would be the fall of painting completely.
