Excellent take on this topic. In the 19th century, photography was the tech that was vilified by many in the art community. Others embraced it and used it to enhance their work.

I'm an OG photographer and illustrator who remembers the days when Photoshop was the big controversy in the illustration field. Airbrush artists and retouchers were left hanging in the wind.

The introduction of tech in popular culture will continue to cause controversy. People with vision will find creative ways to use these tools while others will react reflexively.

Art will continue to evolve.
