I sort of see it as people standing on a train track. The train is barreling towards them. They won't get off the train track. They can yell and scream about the train but, nothing is going to stop it. (Short of a solar flare and a massive EMP.) Yet they rend their cloths and nash their teeth. They will be no more effective than the luddites or blacksmiths at the turn of the 19th century into the 20th. They will simply have to adapt.

Adapt to what? Learning to code? Well joke’s on them because the meme AI-resistant career is looking like it’s workforce will be heavily reduced in the near future. Drive taxis, Ubers, trucks, buses, train drivers on your metaphorical train tracks? Soon they’ll all be automated as well, and they will all be fighting over the rapidly shrinking pool of jobs that actually aren’t being automated.

Saying that they should adapt is so absurdly cold and lacking in empathy.

You seem to be talking about immediate solutions which im not sure anyone has right now. But I'm against banning future developments or advancements as an answer.

I’m not advocating for anything to be banned. I’m advocating for empathy, and to raise awareness of the suffering of millions of people for no fault of their own.

Doing caricatures on the street is adapting. Paint portraits for people of more modest means is adapting. Doing street murals is adapting. I just thought of those in under 60 seconds. Artists need to be more creative.
