[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 9236369, member: 12731"] Our job as compassionate humans isn't to stand in the way of innovation and progress. Yes, a couple of artists may have to find another job. But enabling millions more to express themselves visually where we could not before is a huge benefit for humanity. [LIST] [*]Monks lost their scribing job when the printing press came along. Too bad, but anyone saying "it's wild that anyone who cares about scribes of any kind would support the printing press" is... shortsighted at best. [*]Typesetters lost their jobs at newspaper printers when desktop publishing allowed the journalists to layout their own articles. Again, saying "it's wild that anyone who cares about typesetters would continue to subscribe to their newspaper" is the mindset of, frankly, a luddite. [/LIST] Of course we care. We want these people to find another way of earning a living now that technology has come for their jobs. What we don't do, of course, is to try to but the genie back into the bottle. That's worse than useless. But more importantly, that you and I can now create fantastical vistas and images just by typing text is WONDERFUL. It truly is an invention comparable to the printing press. Yes, there are various issues that need to be ironed out. And yes, this will destroy a couple of careers. But don't go down the path where you try to cast shade at progression. There's no future for you there. Instead let's focus on the possibilities here :) [/QUOTE]
