It seems silly to blame globalism and automation. These should be good things. More production with less should be good. There is another culprit, one that has been smoldering for centuries. Most creative work has already been commodified, because capitalism is incapable of seeing value in art other than what is can be exploited for and the system is very unkind to whomever is not productive in a very specific way. AI is just very potent accelerant.
I guess it really is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.
