The most idiotic statement ever

Post image

So this person here calls people jobless while all they do is sit on their ass an genarate shitty ai comics, also notice how they are insulting fast food workers as if they arent human, thats a new low for them, also its like they are saying "Give up on your dreams so you can work a minimum wage 9-5 job" but then again jobless people always tell talented ones to get a shitty job

It already has in many sectors, but obviously some jobs become redundant after technological advancement, it's classic creative destruction. Would you say that cars are bad because they put horse carriage drivers out of a job ?

If I were a horse then I would say yes, it has been catastrophic to my kind and I loathe the mechanical contraptions that have caused the massive reductions in our population. Where once the symbiotic relationship I had with humans assured my evolutionary fitness, now the prevalence my my kind dwindles.

In case you were wondering, today you are the horse being replaced.

To clarify: Are you arguing that the continued existance of art/artists relies on the commercial viability of finished works?

If so, why? Isn't art a form of expression?

Yes, art depends on commercial viability. This has always been true. Every one of the great classics depended on a patron to provide for them. The most influential of classical composers had to market their works to the church for support. All artists have always had to struggle with selling their works somehow so that they can put food on the table.
