    People who feel threatened by new technology impacting their job don't like new technology, more news at 11.

    Ok but seriously half the complaints I see about this are more about how society hasn't used increased productivity as a way to improve all of society rather than any actual good reason for why AI creations must be inherently immoral. Any reasonable and good government would have social safety nets for everyone so you don't need to fear new tech and endowments/funding for human art.

    If you're an artist scared that you'll lose your income your complaint should be based around your society and capitalism.

      That's the problem: we're nowhere near there. In the meantime, knee-jerk hostility toward artists (and writers, and teachers, and lawyers, and so on and so on) as "entitled aristocrats" and so on, cheering on their precarious situation in the face of such technology harnessed unchecked by unmitigated predatory capitalism, is still a thing on Hexbear for some "fuck you, got mine" types. :sadness:
