Really cannot overstate how much I hate the timeline we're in with regards to large creative companies essentially beginning a process whose logical endpoint would be the wholesale disposal of human creativity in order to squeeze out ever diminishing profit returns, and which will not ultimately work in their favor long run.
This is such a frustrating decision, but it's indicative of a much larger problem with creative companies in general at the moment. Everywhere you turn this is pushed as an answer to all problems, and when you bring up the shortcomings you are labeled a Luddite.
Glad to see most here recognize it for what it is.
