Such an ignorant tweet
What do you mean?
There are literally millions of robots doing factory labor already.
We definitely want robots to do hard labor but having software and hardware do physical work is significantly more difficult to make. That's why for now we see them do digital stuff. The technology just isn't there yet.
Also these AI art generators aren't stopping anyone from drawing or creating. In fact it allows even more people to express themselves and empowers existing artists.
Sure, some may lose their job over it but what's the use of automation if it can't do what a human can? People can still do what they want, artists can still draw as a hobby.
I think it's quite selfish and entitled to think you must be able to earn money by doing the thing you love. A lot of people already have jobs that are very different than their hobbies.
Also we've been automating or otherwise machine-assisting hard labor for centuries now. There are tons of 'hard labor' jobs that used to exist and now are merely someone pressing buttons in an air conditioned cab. The number of people needed for construction, farming, etc continues to fall as we approach full automation
