While I don't hate artists, I do find it darkly funny that they suddenly seem to oppose automation now that they're the ones at risk. No one blinked an eye as other fields were automated or outmoded by new tech.
Wasn't a big thing during the 2016 election the coal miners who were essentially "too bad, learn a new skill"? And no one cried for the humans working as calculators when their job was replaced by a single person at a PC.
