Saw an article over the use of AI art on Foamstars that I won't link here since it'll only enrage people, but a particular line, or way of thinking stuck out to me.
It mentions how people accused MTG of using AI, and were eventually proven right, but then questions "Is that really what you want to do forever? What if using AI means someone gets to have an early lunch break?" and - aside from completely ignoring how AI works, like every single one of these pieces do - it also just completely ignores that no, that's not what anyone wants. What people want is to be paid a decent wage, to be given sensible hours, so they can do their work without crunch, without skipping meals, without slowly killing themselves.
Its like the entire area of upper management is a force of nature to these folks, something we can't hope to adapt or change. You can't expect better pay, or better work hours, or better living conditions, all of that is set on stone. All everyone can do to deal with it is accept this miraculous new tech that doesn't run on stolen content or boils a lake with every use.
