I can tell why it’s a problem for working artists. I never suggested otherwise. What I disagreed with was the premise that it’s immoral or inherently wrong. A problem posing a difficulty to a certain group of difficulty doesn’t have any bearing on its morality.

I'm guessing you mean to say "A problem posing difficulty to a certain group of people doesn't have any bearing on it's morality." and that's just... so very gross in terms of ethical statements.

Like just, hard disagree. Undercutting the value by entire factors of a whole profession's labor is incredibly immoral, especially when you couldn't have done it without the help of their previous works. Like... a very non-exhaustive list of problems I would say meet that definition are:

- Generational/racial wealth inequality

- Police brutality

- The victims of the war on drugs

- Exploitation of overseas labor

I don't think we really have anything else to discuss.

> A problem posing a difficulty to a certain group of difficulty doesn’t have any bearing on its morality.

A good point, but I think an all-humans good argument can be made here, not just a specific group.

To sketch, I think we can all agree that the destruction of the human journalism profession negatively impacted public discourse for everyone?

Ergo, the destruction of the human artist profession seems like something we should consider carefully.
