Right, read the room. Tell them that "there are challenges ahead, but their excellent education and optimism will overcome even the most ominous obstacles, technological or otherwise."

If AI is another Industrial Revolution, rise to be our Sinclairs, Dickens and Tolstoys.

It's interesting that I'm only seeing this kind of anti-ai tendency only in American/Western art circles. Anywhere else in Middle East/Asia, artists are having fun experimenting with it.

Hmm, how would we measure and confirm this hypothesis?

anecdotally, I have noticed the same thing. The most affluent people are afraid of the moat being bridged methinks.

		Investing in a skill for a craft isn't a moat. Anyone can pick up a pencil and practice for hours a day! You can look out a window for inspiration! There is no "gatekeeping" art, only people upset it doesn't come as easily to them as B2B SAAS and confusing real effort and introspection as "gatekeeping". The AI art people were so happy to rub it in artists face, that finally, without effort or appreciation, they no longer had to pay the skilled person for an image.
