This.Here's the thing I'm trying to get across: this stuff is part of the ecosystem now, and it is going to be especially prevalent at the lower rung and entry level -- like all new tech that makes something cheaper to produce.
It I'd also true that current generative systems are trained on work without the original creator's permission, and that is a real problem that needs solved. But it is also true that some artists will, for some fee, allow their work into the dataset.
Automation steals jobs. My industry has seen field crews go from from 5 to 3 to 1 member because of advances in technology. That's how technology works. It's a feature. Just because it is suddenly happening to YOU doesn't change that.
Automation also creates new jobs though and allows us to branch out into fields we never thought possible. It can make things accessible that previously only ever the purview of the wealthy.
