I agree with you, but I wouldn't take it so personally. There have been people claiming machines will make one industry or another obsolete for as long as we've had machines. In a way, sometimes they're right! But this doesn't mean the people are obsolete. Excel never made accountants obsolete, it just made their jobs easier and less tedious. I feel like content generation tools might offer something similar. How nice would it be if you could feed a storyboard into a program and get a low-fi version of the movie out so you can get a live feel for how the draft works. I don't think this takes anything away from the artists, if anything, it's just another tool that might make its way into their toolbox.
- dagmx 4y agoOh I don’t take it personally so much as I find it sad how quickly people in the tech sphere are so quick to extol the virtues of things they have no familiarity with. Every AI art thread is full of people who have clearly never attempted to make professional art commenting as if they’re experts in the domain
- mclightning 4y agoI have been a programmer since I was 13, and now it has been 17 years. I am totally with you on this. I think techies tend to overestimate their experience outside of their immediate area to a degree that I would describe as arrogant. As a person who adopted the tech sphere, as his community, it is extremely sad to start to notice this. Techies tend to be good at tangible, measurable, immediate facts. Not so much when it comes to any social situations, let alone bigger concepts like social evolution of trends and their impacts. Hence you get sorry attempts at apologies from big name tech bros for terrible influences on society.
