The age of art you recall destroyed the age of art I recall as the VP of the world’s largest supplier of commercial art supplies. And I recall it clearly.

The day I saw early desktop publishing and typesetting I told the CEO to sell the company immediately. I left and bought an office supply company and computerized it. His 230-odd location company shrank to five stores barely surviving. But millions who were not skilled or talented enough to produce art by hand were able to vastly scale in numbers by producing so called art digitally.

At present vast numbers who could not and were not skilled enough to produce digital equivalents of art are creating the post-hollywood industry. Just when that industry is dying of economic and conceptual exhaustion.

At present gaming is trying to figure out how to add AI to games further competing in the attention economy.

It takes time, but it just means we all have multiple careers.
