All those artists did the same thing, they're also only able to pursue art because the work of so many people before has made a world in which we're so surrounded by luxury that they don't need to work the fields just to survive.
As the famous meme so rightly states, we live in a society. I get that a lot of modern artists don't want to help build a better society for all because they want to protect their privileged position in capitalism but that's not really an option, you live by the sword of capitalism you die by the sword of capitalism.
Artists. Famously part of the ruling class.
You can have a privileged position in capitalism without being the ruling class, beside we're not talking about all the artists because a huge amount do art because they love creativity, expression and visual beauty - the ones who wage this absurd battle against emerging technology are either in a privileged position or who envision themselves in that privileged position in the future.
Jesus, you AI people are idiots.
See ya in 10 years, friend. We'll revisit this conversation.
