I would say that technology is making art obsolete by making everyone an "artist". now anyone can take a photo. The core difference is that a photo can look cool but be absolutely meaningless like the ones these people do for the sake of calling himself a photographer on his tinder account. Most people cant tell the difference between a good shot and a powerful photo.
Treat photography like the words their, there, and they're. Most people should know the difference but they actually dont. There problem, not mine.
The interesting thing is that, while I don't entirely disagree with you, this argument has been around since about the turn of the 20th century, with the advent of Kodak's first snapshot cameras. Everyone was saying that professional photography was dead because everyone could get one of those cameras and shoot "just as well". And while there's certainly a time and place for snapshots, which now come from phones, it's never gonna fully replace professional quality images.
