I know a lot of folk add "Not for AI training" to their #toots. I've just has my first crack at using #AI in developing my theme for an open source software package. I don't feel embarrassed about using it.
Didn't scribes worry about the #printing press, #weavers about steam powered #looms, #artists when #photography was invented, #musicians when the phonograph came along, #record #companies when tape #recorders became available, #film #studios when #television arrived?
Now everyone has #books to #read, wonderful #clothes, there is #artwork of all kinds everywhere, not just in #palaces. We can all have #music and #video wherever we go, even on the move.
And to support all this we have a range new #trades, #businesses and #jobs, #unimaginable by our #forefathers.
Things change. They always have. Being able to enjoy or #profit from what you do currently is not a #right We all have to adapt constantly.
Fifty years ago I'd have said, answers on a #postcard, please.

A quotation from Richard Steele
The prevailing humour of crying up authors that have writ in the days of our forefathers, and of passing slightly over the merit of our contemporaries, is a grievance that men of a free and unprejudiced thought have complained of through all ages in their writings.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
