Raw LLM Responses

I am an aspiring artist currently studying in college and my whole life I've "known" my purpose is to be an artist (if you could cite such a thing as purpose), and yet having been told time and time again by those around me that I needed to grow up, think about an actual career, etc., I have struggled to come to terms with the fact that I really do just want to create art. Hell, I started out college as a prospective mathematics major because I felt that being in STEM would grant me some respect from peers, relatives and family. But I finally accepted myself as a student artist and just as I was doing so I found out about all of this AI stuff :(. It really does feel like a reflection of society's broader views on artists and art (+ other creative careers largely). I feel exceptionally disheartened by it, and it feels like just another stupid obstacle, except somehow more dangerous. Perhaps I sound whiny, but I would love a world where artists and creatives are not judged in various ways, and allowed to create for its own sake. I believe we need art to sustain vibrant life. I crave respect for us, the same baseline of respect that is afforded other careers. I actually haven't been able to bring myself to watch this video yet because this topic really does strike a nerve within me (emotionally immature? Perhaps...But we all have flaws, and I just want to be able to sustain a career in this way.). But I am sure it's a brilliant video, and when/if I do get around to it, I'll make sure to really listen to all the information you present.
