Yes.

Empowerment of worker (or in this case, creative) = good thing

Replacement of worker = bad thing

This has been the fight over automation since :checks notes: at least 1811 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

Workers becoming much more efficient -> increased competition -> less workers that can make a living on the thing.

Which is, for the record, just fine: The US has full employment and there is lots of stuff to do. No need to do things that can be handled by machines.
