This is what I'm thinking as well. I would go so far to say that it's directly evil to automate away illustration and other forms of creativity. Sure, many people will think it's cool and useful, but so many people will see their reason to live taken away from them. This is not only about making a living, creative arts is something much deeper and meaningful for lots of people.

I wish we could spend our collective brainpower applying AI to fight disease, climate change and poverty instead. That would make life better.

How dare they automate weaving cloth, it's a creative endeavor with a long history! It's deeply meaningful for lots of people in some cultures! Time to smash the looms!
