By this logic we ought to start lynching artists, why they didn't care about all of those who lost their jobs making pigments, canvasses, pencils, brushes etc etc

Artists pay those people and make their jobs needed. Same as the person above claiming Duchamp didn't negotiate with the ceramics makers - yes, they absolutely did and do pay their suppliers. Artists aren't smash and grabbing their local Blick.

AI pays no artist.

    Enter factories, now you gather all the knowledge from those who made the product, automate it and leave them without jobs.

Why on earth would you choose the word 'lynch' here? At worst I'm suggesting mild disapproval and regulation, not historically racist mob violence.
