true art and honest artists shouldn't have to worry about "being replaced on your job by a machine", but as long as art and entertainment have monetary values in our society, most artists will not get to be happy about what they do. they don't get to live to make art, instead they have to resort to making art to live and thus be upset about something else making art. not just paintings but eventually songs, music, dance, stories and everything else we humans produce.

it seems to me that art a human construct that cohesively binds most our other constructs but it is far from being a sacred institution which shouldn't have to deal with tangible/monetary things. maybe in the coming centuries.
