I'm friends with plenty of starving artists or folks working day jobs and forced to keep their music on the side. If you're sad about not making money in music then there are dozens of other things you can blame besides AI that doesn't actually work well enough to take the job you currently don't have because of reasons not controlled by the evil software nerds.

I’m talking about problems a lot more broad than music, hobby artists are a completely different entity than commercial artists and conflating them is targeted willful ignorance. And frankly, developers comprise the most coddled, overprivileged, out-of-touch professional sector south of the c-suite in any industry: your musings about income for anyone outside of the software business are meaningless.

Enjoy your mass layoffs because they aren’t stopping in my sector. Oh, are you one of the special ones too talented to be affected? That’s good news because all developers are according to them. Good luck.
