Its another tool. For me one that has allowed me to access my creativity FAR MORE than any artistic tool previous. Did photoshop destroy photography? Did Photography destroy realistic paintings? If you dont like the tool personally, all previous artistic tools humanity has created are still available to you
edit: for those downvoting me, Pandora's box is opened, you can either adapt with the times, or align yourselves with the Luddites who burned down the textile factories when lace became able to be mass produced, and are now synonymous with being out of date with current technology
Photography actually did destroy photorealistic painting as a career. All those painted portraits you see in museums were basically the old timey version of selfies. Photography replaced that job.
As a career yes, but there are still artists whom that medium speaks to. As time marches on jobs will get replaced, and we can either try and adapt society towards not NEEDING jobs to live, or we can keep having peoples livelihoods wiped out because of advancements in tech, instead of lives improved.Or do you think we should get rid of camera tech?
