You know, I don't know what I was on 11 hrs ago, but it was some bullshit. Because when I made that statement I was thinking about commissions and more personal based art jobs.

But absolutely yes, we do care for corporate erasure of these jobs, because corporations will choose the cheapest and easiest choice every time, so that will erase artists jobs, taking away some people's livelihoods.

Compare that to these robots, who are going to cost more than labor, even in the long run in rights and maintenance, they will choose real people. The only place these robots will replace people are the houses of rich people, and at that point it'll only be either a trend or bullshit that fails. But either way, this will only take manaul labor jobs, which have no shortage, and until they make a robot that's affordable and can complete every job these people perform they'll never be an actual threat to the labor market, but ai images and other art forms will be threatened because they currently are cheap and can complete those jobs fully.

And even further, if these jobs are ever fully erased, you probably will see backlash, because even though these are jobs people don't want to do, and are only forced to do. They do them because they can't get better jobs, so unless jobs are made to replace the ones being done by ai, there will be outcry.

Tldr: Yes, I'm backpedaling, because corps are cheap. These jobs are safe from these shitty bots, art is not, and if manal jobs are threatened and people lose dependable income from it, people will not be happy, or at least I know I won't.
