this whole line of reasoning explains why recent advances in creative computation with AI/ML are always framed as tools to augment or replace artists: it's an attempt to (further) reframe art as a kind of knowledge work which (like a bookkeeper or a secretary) can ultimately be replaced with automation.

1. Programming is Forgetting: Toward a New Hacker Ethic - Allison Parrish | Open Transcripts
  
  from Open Transcripts
  
  I wouldn't be surprised to find out that many of us here today like to see our work as a continuation of say the Tech Model Railroad Club or the Homebrew Computer Club, and certainly the terminology and the values of this conference, like open source for example, have their roots in that era. As a consequence it's easy to interpret any criticism of the hacker ethic—which is what I'm about to do—as a kind of assault.
