I think this is a pretty common viewpoint because while AI in its current state is pretty shitty, it punishes a specific type of irritating person we all know.
Every anti AI argument is just throwing darts at the wall until something sticks. There is more water in a can of soda than an AI prompt.

It's kind of revealing about those who think that way right? So self-absorbed and jealous.
That’s something I was talking about with a friend recently after we ran across the Monoverse videos on YouTube, how cool it was that one or two people now have the means to make something like that themselves, that would have once taken a whole small team to produce.
And sometimes, that even works in reverse: You look at a nice painting and go “Wow, that’s really cool. Maybe I should try painting sometime.”
I like generative AI as a creative tool, but I really don't think this prediction is going to come to pass. It's going to empower people to do things that they would not have been able to do before and raise the bar for a lot of stuff, but whole movies that are actually entertaining and worthwhile are not going to spring fully formed from a prompt entered by a teenager. Writing a novel or making a movie is always going to take work and attention to detail no matter how sophisticated the tools become.
That's my favorite part. "It's bad because it's AI even though I thought it was good before someone told me that it was AI... oh, what, the music is not AI? Just the cover art? Uh... uh... no, that's not possible, AI could never be used as a tool by a human creative for part of their work, all real artists hate AI. This must be entirely AI and therefore bad and evil."
AI is and was the death knell of off those quirky kids at school who buried their heads in notepads or worse still tablets and claimed on Facebook they were an illustrator when you and everyone else knew they were fucking unemployed. funnily a lot of these people were also shitlibs and commies, the great irony being that Ai tools in their own world view are good because it reduces inequality in skill now everyone can generate imagery of the same low to mediocre quality just as marx intended. Political sperging aside
By their logic we should all be like an RPG and have a balanced stat in everything just in case something new comes up. those Coal Miners should have had experience in coding before hand then they wouldn't be left behind and all these artists on the internet should have been learning how to code A.I just in case. Tech has always accelerated no matter how much the masses have tried to scream it back because humans just love to advance things.
Very Indian coded post.
Though I agree with a lot that you said, not sure if it was just to make a closing statement, but I don't think you know what Hatsune Miku or a vocaloid in general is. The comparison to AI tools is not really the case here.
the internet artists of that generation thought they had it made because it was in its infancy so they can get their commissions from their patreons or whatever other site and not feel threatened. Not to power level but i am also an artist but i know this kind of thing isn't lucrative so i have an actual job and do art for a little extra change on the side. As said plenty of times they constantly told people to adapt to ever changing industries now it's their industry that is changing and we're seeing the kicking and screaming despite A.I not having any reason or means to take away their business (other and better artists have already been doing that lol) but just it existing and being here with the potential to do what they been doing for years is as you said them dealing with culture shock. OP pointed out what a few told them in fact that while they were laughing at the silly faces and fingers models like 5 or 6 years ago people were telling them it would eventually evolve and get better yet most didn't believe them.
sounds like they need to pick up a pencil…
