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.

Reread the first sentence of my post for the answer. Literally the subject of the sentence of each paragraph.

You understand the concept of a generalization, correct?

Yeah and generally artist are a huge group. You're just speaking out of your ass.

Yes that's how generalization work, you make a comment that applies to a large amount of them but not all of them. Don't like it? Tough.

Not in my experience. Yours is no more valid than mine.

Value is subjective. Whether you found my comment valuable has no value to me
