Just go to a thread about AI-generated software. What people are annoyed about is not that it kills creativity but that the painstaking acquisition of technical skill over many years has been abruptly devalued. It's really hard to make a living in the arts while you wait for the success fairy to pick you out somewhat at random and make you famous.

I don’t see the issue. Unless the issue is that now they have more competition since there are easier tools to use, which is just stupid. It is like ancient lumberjack complaining how much easier it is to cut down trees with a chainsaw compare to just using axe and how that is killing lumberjacking industry. If you can’t compete after AI tools your business was built on lies

Technical skill was already devalued. Modern art is about ideas, and many of the most expensive and renowned works of recent require almost no technical skill. At the very least, technical skill is rarely what distinguishes a great artist anymore.
