In the 19th century, being an artist was a real thing; it was really a technical field. You were a portrait painter and the best artists would study for years to be as accurate to reality as you could - look at how the light moves and all of that. All of a sudden, the camera comes out and artists fear this is the end of art because this new thing can capture reality better than anyone can. But then very quickly, people realized that in some ways this liberates the artists. It's not a coincidence that the impressionist movement coincided with the advent of the camera. People realized it's not about capturing reality but the expression and feelings conjured. This led to an explosion about what art is and come out of the trap about painting, nobility, and grand scenes into things that really evoke and challenge us. People are now saying AI can write pretty well. It can code pretty well. It can create movies, images pretty well. What that tells me is that it liberates the creator to move beyond that. Someone can elevate and integrate and manage these tools.
