AI has made life and work complicated for all sorts of professional artists and other workers. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately, some people see this as an opportunity to be unkind. <\/p>\n
But as youll see in this story, this can be satisfying later on for the injured party. <\/p>\n
I do art commissions on the side. <\/p>\n
My brother jokes that I need a new side hustle now that AI art tools are around and no one really needs artists anymore. <\/p>\n
Im not a full time artist, but those jokes annoyed me, so I tell him to knock it off. <\/p>\n
His brother wont give it a rest. <\/p>\n
He doesnt and says that I should get used to it. <\/p>\n
On Monday, he got called into a meeting where he was told hes getting laid off as the company hes working for has finished automating a lot of processes. <\/p>\n
Because of that they dont have enough work for all the technicians. Since hes the newest tech, he got cut. <\/p>\n
He told the family in a group chat and we did the So sorry to hear that and do you need any help? cycle for half an hour. <\/p>\n
His brothers remarks have come back to haunt him. <\/p>\n
In the chat, I promised to help him tidy up his resume. <\/p>\n
After that, I texted to him, Guess AI was coming for your job too lol. <\/p>\n
He stopped responding and his girlfriend texted me saying that I shouldnt have kicked him while he was down. <\/p>\n
AITA? <\/p>\n
Heres what people are saying. <\/p>\n
A lot of people made this point. This is not a healthy relationship. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I agree. This is too sore of a spot. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Exactly. Its apples to oranges. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That would be a healthy approach, but I doubt they would do that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sort of agree, but the timing was just bad. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At least he didnt make the joke in the group chat <\/p>\n
