I do go to a cobbler to fix my shoes! But I don't go to a cobbler to buy them, because that's too expensive (and always was relatively expensive).

People are firing artists and writers in favour of AI but it's incredibly dumb because the AI product is considerably and noticeably worse. The energy requirements are bad, the stealing of copyright material and pretending that it's okay is bad, the insistence that AI is intelligent when it's just a sophisticated autocorrect is bad. I agree about the job killing, though, and I think it's going to end up with AI generated human supervised art.
