Actually, all those people who lost their professions they spent their lifetime working on, they care, rather a lot.

Yes, in 2023 they say this, but I assure you when "session musician" was a common profession, that no one said this.
When I first started in music, if you wanted your piece of music, you had to pay instrumentalists to play it, and this was a valuable professional skill.

And the music is not good either.
When did everyone become so sociopathically detached from the welfare of others? It's just horrifying.
Hear of that group called the luddites?
This is just the latest chapter in the same book. The solution has almost never been stopping technology but distribution of the benefits to all members of the society. That is unless you want one entity to play winner take all in the end.
