The conversation isn't about you or your hobby, it's about professional artists and illustrators, who are already being automated away by AI.

Professional artists have no chance of being automated away. They need all the productivity tools they can get.

The ones at risk (and complaining the most) are semipro online artists who sell one image at a time, like fanart commissions.

I follow plenty of artists on Elon's hellsite and professional artists of all stripes are upset about it. Jobs are already disappearing, being replaced entirely by AI and "prompt engineers" or people just using AI to copy someone's style for their portfolio. Granted, it isn't endemic yet, but the big Indiana Jones stone ball of progress is definitely rolling in that direction.

That is not what the post I was responding to was about, it was about the art as human expression. Nothing was said about it as a profession and making money creating art makes zero difference as to the worth of the art.
