wait but I thought that free market can sort itself out, at least libertarians have been telling me this for years? how come that in a completely unregulated market, where actors are basically left to do as they please, we suddenly need - gasp! - a government to step in and break down the evil monopoly? eli5 this! /s

yeah, as others have said, don't be discouraged! 🙏 in my mind, the point of creative jobs or art in general is the portrayal of human emotion and creativity. on a very broad level, it is a way for humans to connect with each other. no AI will ever replace a human art - at least as far as I'm concerned - because a piece of art for me is the expression of another human being. I don't care very much about a physical object, I care about the person that made it.
