There are several parts to the argument about validation, provenance, and replacement.
1. I have a longer background in art than you, I work harder to draw than you do, at all... and I have twice as much schooling as you do.
2. I know more about art, technology, and Dadaism than you do. Clearly. But now that you've been infected with Dadaism, I'm sorry to say there is no cure. Arguments with Dadaists are enough to activate it! One day soon, you'll find yourself running naked down the street speaking only in nonsense, and you'll love every fucking second of it. I look forward to seeing that for you.
3. You can't be pro-provenance and pro-ip, and be anti-corporate. Either you don't understand one, or you don't understand the other. Especially when you find yourself in a position where you're distancing yourself from the racists and transphobes who agree with you.
4. The real reason you're here, and the real reason you're afraid of this is complicated. But let's get into it, and why you're wrong about that too.
The real reason you're doing this, is because you need validation that you won't be replaced either professionally, or emotionally by a machine. You didn't think about it at all, before the machine started approaching the average trend.
In other words, you're offended that anyone would ever try to replace you, and you're upset because you feel they have.
And then there's the other aspect to the whole thing where you feel like you don't control your voice anymore.
I get all that.
But on all counts, you're wrong.
You need to stop reading corpo propaganda.
That's my last word on the topic.
An aside: Also, it was golden how I called you an elitist gatekeeper for the wealthy, and your response is, "I guess spending $240,000 on school is too hard." Y'know, the beauty of all this is that I don't even have to work to make yall look like the bad guys.
You do that all by yourself!
