We've been told artists don't matter for 50 years. I remember watching C-SPAN in the early 00s as Congress universally agreed that art adds nothing to the economy, and therefor should be de-emphasized in NCLB. This is after 20 years of underhanded defunding of public school arts education by neoliberals in both parties.

STEM continued the idea that the arts are vestigial and useless to our new super-economy.

And yet, people keep making it. "AI" won't change that, or even dent it.
