Personally, I am eyeballs deep in this industry and even I’m now hoping to see it all burn to the ground. I’ve already concluded that I’ll never make it to retirement in my field, probably because of automation. Fuck ‘em all.

The industry is not that bad, but it’s just one of them. People need art. And art doesn’t survive in environments where there should be a winner and winner takes all. Art is the social alternative of recessive genes. It allows to preserve more than needed “right now in this particular situation”. Without art there’s degeneracy.

I am not sure what you are implying. There will always be art. Art does not need to be a commercial success to be expressive.

Artists need to eat. Art needs to be a commercial success to defend itself from commercial successes it hurts. Computing industry notably positions itself as replacing art (I don’t mean digital art like tracker music or 3d modeling), in many things where, say, car industry doesn’t. But the suggested replacements are not that. Similarly to how journalism can only be adversarial and offensive to most points of view, otherwise it’s just public relations, because it doesn’t improve anything. Improvement is always adversarial.
