This is a really peak crazy libertarian take on the issue of artists and content creators being peeved that AI is making crappier content for cheaper and driving down their job opportunities and wages, after training on their content (and sometimes regurgitating it word for word in large chunks) and not paying royalties.

If you think artistic people of various kinds are doing particularly well and need to have their privilege checked to stop the discrimination against AI tech bros...then I think you are out of touch. The starving artist meme is a thing for a reason, and most content creators are not making a lot of money. They enjoy it, and maybe make a little on the side. But most work a shitty day job as well to fund their passion, the thing that makes them enjoy life and helps them find meaning. They just want to contribute to culture and enjoy making art but wouldn't be able to justify it if all the existing low wage starving artist work dries up in favor of essentially free AI generated crap.

I'd hazard a guess that the majority of the country would take their side and call Silicon Valley tech bros and VCs privileged and anti-social.

I think a culture in which it is non-viable for an ordinary person to participate in art and culture on the side is kind of sad. I value these things because there is a person on the other end and it helps me empathize and try and understand how they are feeling and thinking. An AI kills that. You'll get great stock photos generic advertising, but you'll destroy something fundamental to human culture.
