Comment on Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

If AI can replace your ‘art’ you weren’t making art, you were making a comodified product. And you boss would have replaced you anyways as soon as another, cheaper, opportunity presented itself.

Most actors don’t make much money playing roles in theater, movies or TV shows (obvious exceptions for big name stars), rather they do those when they can get them, but make most of their money doing ads. If that ad work disappeared, way fewer people could afford to be actors and the overall talent pool would shrink.
Same goes for people doing drawn art or photography, the commodified work provides a stable income that allows them to pursue the career and creates space for them to produce genuine art.

big name stars, and mostly through nepotism(gal gadot, olivia wilde, pratt). every other actor might not be rich, or they are so bad even if they went to the bougie acting college, juiliart they are stuck on a specific role in 1 show only.

There are a lot of actors who are decently well known and talented who still make most of their income from ad work, and couldn’t afford to stay in the industry without it.
