If a new tool can streamline and improve processes, eliminating jobs along the way, then that’s just an unfortunate side effect of progress.
Not every job needs to exist forever. Should electric cars be banned to protect ICE manufacturers and mechanics? Should digital cameras be banned to protect the jobs of film makers and film developers?
No. When a profession is no longer needed it goes away. The people in that profession need to adapt and move on.
If AI can do the visual effects in an hour what would usually take a team of 20 3 months to do, those jobs are no longer necessary. Sucks for them, but you don’t ignore the AI just to let them keep their jobs to your own detriment.
