            Commissioning individual artists has always been a bourgeois thing. This is about locking proles out of cultural mass production and locking them out entirely.

            Selling your labor to bourgeois pigs (the only people that can afford to pay) so that you can eat makes you a prole. Working at a production house makes you a prole. It's like getting mad at an Uber driver.

            I don't understand why you're upset that some fields have better working conditions than others when the collective struggle is to improve work conditions for everyone, and the conditions of production artists are already mostly sweatshops in the third world to begin with.

                The users don't matter here

                You must destroy AI because eventually it will probably replace doctors for 99% of daily functions and that 1% a new function of being completely devoid of compassion and experiencing no trauma from denying people care (total insurance company surveillance) and having no qualms with slowly pushing medically assisted euthanasia onto welfare and disability queens, as described by tech bros unproductive surplus members of society

                You can already see how AI management at Amazon warehouses and Uber treat people

                Anything that previously required a human face can be replaced with an algorithm with an infinite capacity to immiserate you beyond everything you've already experienced.

                If you've ever been on welfare or disability you can imagine the nightmare of having an AI case worker

            I want to get art for as little as possible and they want to be paid as much as possible.

            Any labor is worth what it's worth, obviously considering intensity of work and training required. I don't understand how you can be mad at this.

            An hour of your work is worth an equivalent hour of another worker's work.

                It's not a sound analysis because

                A: You can apply that observation to literally every worker that negotiates pay (waiters' tips, Uber tips, plumber, all craftsmen and tradesmen)

                And

                B: Pointless because it's anti worker and anti solidarity, dead end. Your interests working in presumably the core are still improved by the hyper exploitation of the periphery, your conditions worsening would still be bad

                Creative and fulfilling labor is still labor, protecting and making that available to as many people as possible should be the goal.
