I usually see a lot of respones to this kind of thing that dismiss it as wishfull thinking or "coping", but consider that this also applies in the opposite direction: wouldn't it be convenient/reassuring if these talented people where brought low by technology, if we could be absolved from practicing.
And yet Midjourney has been out for a while and very few of you have used it to make succesful games or webcomics. You can cope by telling artists the future will bury them, but they at least will have had their moment in the sun.

- giraffe_lady 2y agoYes I do not think it's possible to have a useful meta-conversation on this subject without discussing the absolute contempt tech workers have for creative workers. To the extent we have a culture distinct from the main stream it is based on their output (video games, fantasy & sci-fi franchises, etc) and we hate them for it. For doing what we can't? For making us love what we don't value? I don't know. But it's a key part of how this is talked about, especially here on hn.
