So I don't disagree that this is all a result of runaway capitalism. But also, and I know this is going to sound extremely anal retentive of me - but I wasn't born with an ability to create art - I learned.

Then when I was doing teaching (broad career, lol) I didn't find it too difficult to product my own content. Additionally I was also working in advertising for ages, and often created my own art. If I didn't want to create my own things, then I wouldn't be in a career where I was creating my own things.

I just don't know man. I was a creative once. I changed course, but I still feel so torn that I'm watching the entire creative process be taken over by non-creatives and then being argued out of the room that it's better.

(Edit, I would like to add that I'm no AI luddite, I just don't like the way it's being utilised)
