I'm fine with programmers being a less needed skillset, but most artists were not making any money. The vast vast majority were the proverbial starving artists getting pennies for commissions, fighting for some form of respect for generations. Completely segregated from the idea of a market based economy, completely unwilling to do anything that people actually value, completely unwilling to move away from "discipline and aesthetics" into "story and scarcity" which is what is valued. When doing it for fun is totally an option and is still something we can all do after AI art took off.

How do you feel about NFTs

[yieldcrv]

if referring to the collections

the collectibles market always was able to benefit from transparent supplies, transparent volume. NFT's added that and people acted surprised that the collectibles market was that big, when in reality nobody knows how many baseball cards (for example) were issued, how many rare ones are really out there and more. the analog collectibles market has wash trading too.

if NFT purchasers can remove the parasocial relationships they rely on with the creators and just build their own communities for resales then it'll be fine.
