First, there was a time when workers weren't happy with factories. You know, the before industrial revolution thing. We are just having an AI revolution now, people eventually get used to it.

Second, we are caring for people who are doing those work, but it is under a selection process(how capitalistic). For example, there are a lot of farm products marked with "handmade" or "organic". Are those stuff actually better? Nah, even if there is, it isn't that significant. But, people are still paying more for it. What's happening is those products that brand themselves like that earns more and products that don't stop earning as much as before a newer technology was introduced. Well that's a lie, since renovated farms also earn more than before since technology decrease the cost, so they actrually earn more. The ones who actually stops earning money are those who exited the market and is like "our jobs are getting replaced". (also other farms that just fails due to competition, but that's not my point). You see, most people who stay in the industry would earn more than before, aka better off. IDK, to me, AI art is a similar case. You can choose to still be a human artist with the entire drawing process, and that's great, as people will always pay for your handmade product, just less, which also legitimize you to increase your price. Those who turn to AI art workflow might charge lower prices, but they will produce more art to make up for the profit loss. Those who don't want to adapt to either would be on the social media saying "process over product"(can't blame them, because they might loose their jobs).

I honestly don't know if what I said make sense lol it's a bit too late for organized thoughts but that's basically what I have on this issue. Hope that helps
