When retail was being moved online artists were happy to order paint or “self publish” through amazon destroying the art supply and book stores, but when artists jobs are threatened by automation they expect everyone else to rally around them.
You can’t actually be serious. Artists destroyed art supply and bookstores, not amazon that entered the market aggressively undercutting and buying and doing everything they could to destroy these? This can’t actually be a serious take being upvoted in this site, I refuse to believe this shit.
Apparently we only care about the right proletariats, the wrong ones we don’t care about. It’s incredible the amount of hate some marxists have for artists.
Artists didn’t destroy the art and book stores capitalism did. The point is that artists didn’t make posters to decry the loss of retail workers.
We see videos of farms in China where 2 men do the job that 50 used to do because they use drones and we celebrate it. How is it any different than AI making one graphic designer able to pump out 20 rough drafts in 10 minutes instead of 2 days?
Its not that we hate artists, it is that artists are not special. We hate the idea that some workers deserve to have their jobs protected from automation and others do not. Do you not see how arrogant and supremacist it is to think the entire working class should stand up against the automation of image generation when they have given up on fighting automation in every other field?
