because someone ported aomething it doesnt mean u cant do it anymore... how does it eliminate hobbyists exactyl? hobbyists are the ones AI doesnt really impact because they pursue joy rather than financial gains in their craft...

Why would you dedicate months or even years to doing something just for the sake of it, when you know your creation will be buried underneath 20 other low quality versions of it made in a week by people who are doing it purely for attention and don't even care?

It’s more likely that the higher quality version will rise to the top, and the slop versions will be buried in obscurity.

So you want to show off instead of doing it for yourself? find something harder to show off then.

I can hardly run 5km, but I was still immensely proud of myself whenever I did. It still brings me great joy even though I'm a mediocre runner at best.
