Imagine fighting against the tools that will drive all of us into the future because of your own personal ego. People who actively try to limit the ability of others to advance our knowledge and capacity as individuals deserve to find themselves left behind in the dust.
These people are the same wannabe gatekeeper 'traditional artists' that complained about cameras being invented, or digital imagery, or photoshop. These people will deride anything that is beyond their chosen personal scope of what is 'OK to be art'.
We try to stand on the shoulders of giants who came before us and use their knowledge to do what they couldn't, and these pathetic parasites of humanity try to trip the giant.
Knowlege should be free, anyone who actively prevents others from learning and doing and advancing are troglodyte remnants of a bygone era, you're the punch card operators that refuse to learn how to write code, the taxi driver that refuses to use nav systems, the pilot that refuses to leave their propellers behind, the builder using a hammer instead of a nailgun.
As someone who values freedom of access to knowledge I find these people utterly pathetic in their ego driven attempts to hamstring humanity. I've been a digital artist for 25 years, and I hear the same shit from traditional artists all the time when you'd bring up photoshop, all tools have their place and AI can't replace traditional artists because we still need traditional artists to come up with concepts and styles for training data. AI assisted creation processes benefit from traditional art skills, knowing composition helps make better images, knowing cinematic terminology makes it easier to replicate those things. These people just refuse to advance their own skill sets. You'd give them a lighter and they'd deride you for not rubbing sticks together for an hour.
It's ego driven hubris and I hope all of these people who fail to adapt get left behind.
Y'all said the same shit 'bout NFTs and look what happened with those
