that is technical minutia that will improve before artists relying on that hurdle saving their job have time to sign up for the dole
don't get me wrong, I have sympathy for everybody who for whatever reason sees their livelihood endangered overnight through no fault of their own and with little time to adapt
but I perceive a lot of denial:
- denial that "it could not/would not happen to me"
- denial that this rate of change is not rather unprecedented, "it was always thus" kind of denial
- denial that just because a certain niche won't be quickly automated, it follows that this job is safe or that a general reshaping of that general industry won't happen, changing the incentive structure massively
- denial that a second order effects may get you; so you can now automate some expensive part of your process? that also means the barrier of entry for the competition is lower and whatever competitive advantage you had in that process is now gone. Sure, embrace the efficiency but keep adapting because the only thing sure after those changes is that your industry will experience some "creative destruction"
