Raw LLM Responses

I'm 49. I've been an artist for 27 years. I came in when rubylith and clip art cds were around, and a lot of design firms didn't have computers or were just embracing them. When I was younger, it was a challenge to adapt and learn more, but the older I get, the less of a reality that constantly learning new skill sets at the rapid pace that advances more and more every year, every month. AI has the incredible capacity to render jobs irrelevant at a faster rate than people could reinvent themselves. Americans in general are comfortable, unfortunately. Massive changes won't happen, because a lot of people will do nothing until they are affected directly. In the last year, companies like Hallmark, Hasbro, Microsoft have all laid off creatives and varied staff to save money, to reinvent the corporate structure to benefit shareholders. And speaking to people liking new things, or entertainment, yes, that's all true, but even worse than working are shows and conventions and hearing comments that art is overpriced, or that hand made is simply too expensive. Will there be aspects that allow for human created items to be valued? Sure. But the truth is that corporations run our lives. To a deficit and an unfortunate necessity. A.I. is in it's toddler stage, technology jumps in leaps that are impossible to keep up with. When it finds maturity, refinement, and has full corporate investment behind it, the idea that an artist could make a living would be a rarity. We would literally become the horse, a rarified item for those who care, who have space, and for who would value it.
