Since this is an association of creatives that will be left behind anyway, even if all AI-companies were european, that comment doesn't really make sense. The american SAG-AFTRA also protested some usage of AI and you wouldn't really say that Hollywood Actors wanna be left behind - quite the opposite actually.

Hollywood Actors are doing what they can to preserve their existence but eventually they will also be left behind - you can't stop the progress.

Maybe.

I wouldn't call the idea of big tech having even more influence on our culture and entertainment progress though. Sounds horrible to me.

it is no different from what we have right now. With big tech you will just have more opportunities to do something yourself rather than paying for "hollywood papa" or bend the knee to disney.

quantity over quality has never been a good idea for art.

except it has always been the case no? how many artists are there nowadays in comparison to the classical music era? same with writers.

> how many artists are there nowadays

that's the wrong question, it is like asking "how many peasants are there nowadays"?

of course there are many more people that do not need to plow the fields all day to provide for their 11 children and that can entertain themselves with arts, that's not the point.

the point is that mass manufacturing easily reproducible standardized artifacts becomes industrial production, which has nothing to do with art.
