Cameras have not replaced paintings, assuming this is the inference.
You wouldn't have known that, going by all the bellyaching and whining from the artists of the day.
Guess what, they got over it. You will too.

What stole the joy you must have felt, fleetingly, as a child that beheld the world with fresh eyes, full of wonder?
Did you imagine yourself then, as your are now, hunched over a glowing rectangle. Demanding imperiously that the world share your contempt for the sublime. Share your jaundiced view of those that pour the whole of themselves into the act of creation, so that everyone might once again be graced with wonder anew.
I hope you can find a work of art that breaks you free of your resentment.
Thank you for brightening my morning with a brief moment of romantic idealism in a black ocean of cynicism
So I'm the cynic here. That's a hoot.

Thank you for the AI warning, so I didn't have to read that.

Plot twist. The comment you love is the cynical one, responding to someone who clearly embraces the new by rising above caution and concern. Your GPT addition has missed the context, but at least you've provided a nice little paradox.

You conveniently omitted my next sentence, which contradicts your position and reads thusly:
> You will too.
This statement is assumptive and gratuitous.
Username checks out, at least.

Thoughtful retorts such as this are deserving of the same esteem one affords the "rubber v glue"[0] idiom.
As such, I must oblige.

Logic needs to be shown the door on occasion. Sometimes via the help of an ole Irish bar toss.

Prediction is difficult, especially of the future.
It ain't over 'til it's over. And when you come to a fork in the road, take it.
