    It’s about the types of labor that machines are replacing. AI shifted that balance from menial labor to creative work.

      I get it, but it doesn’t make sense because AI never cleaned our houses. It also hasn’t stopped anyone from the hobby of drawing, which is what’s being depicted here. What am I missing?

        It actually does stop people from the hobby of drawing. Like, emphatically, that is happening.

        The value artists provide is eroded by these machines because they are producing much faster (and for new artists, arguably better in the mainstream sense) art.

        It’s not a mystery… They are stealing art and reproducing it.

        Personally, I think it’s fucking disgusting and I try to support true art, but this absolutely does inspire many new artists to either give up, or make it with LLM’s.

        I think the illustration is supposed to be an analogy for the robot’s role in society, not a literal depiction of a common scenario found in one’s home.
