King of bad takes. Painters literally said the same thing about Photography.

And the neural networks in human artists' brains is exempt from this logic why? Because it's biological and not silicon?
- the_af 4y ago> Painters literally said the same thing about Photography. I think this is itself a bad take, for several reasons. First, that something false was said in the past doesn't make it false today for a different thing. Second, that wasn't the argument painters "literally" used. Did they claim that taking photos was "stealing" their paintings/reality? What some may have claimed is that it took no skill or that it was cheating, or that it would put painters out of work. We now know all of these assumptions were wrong. Photography doesn't "automate" creativity, as anyone struggling to take an interesting photo that tells a story can tell you.
