    Also not every profession is entitled to income

    Yes it is. Otherwise it is not a profession. People go to school for years to become professional artists. They are absolutely entitled to income.

    But hey, you want your murals painted by robots and your wall art printed out, have fun. I’m not interested in your brave new world.

        So you think you’re not entitled to income from your work? That doesn’t sound like something a professional would say. “I’m obsolete, don’t pay me.”

          Nah I understand what’s going on. AI is not replacing real artists. It’s replacing sweatshops. And even when it will eventually replace most of art grunt work we’ll find something more interesting to do like curate the art, mix, match, add extra meta layers and so on.

          This closed mind protectionism is just silly. Not only it’s not sustainable because you will never win it’s also incredibly desperate. No real artist would cry and whine here when given this super power.

          Also pay is not everything in life. Maybe think about that for a second when you discuss art
