[QUOTE="Oligopsony, post: 9079631, member: 56314"] Obviously, some media (film, photography, architecture) are more dependent on external tools than others (dance, standup.) This isn’t otherwise considered relevant to legitimacy. (Ironically trad art is probably closer to film than dance on this scale.) Since it’s a new medium, you obviously don’t have many people who spent years being good at it and pushing its boundaries; I think it’ll be interesting when we do so. (To go with the photography analogy, me (zero skill at photography) can in seconds point a button and get a more accurate depiction of a human form than Renaissance masters were able to. That doesn’t mean I can do many of the interesting things Renaissance masters can do, or that people who have poured years into photography can do.) insofar as this is about jobs, then yeah, I think it’s unfortunate that there will likely be a loss of some jobs. But nb that getting to work full-time as a trad artist is already quite rare; most of the joy created by it is through people pursuing it as a hobby. Personally I’m glad that there’s a new artistic/hobby space to explore.
