The precipitating factor seems to Ghibli where some dude who draws for a living said ai drawing lacked soul, more or less. Then a bunch of people who very likely pirated the first guy's movies leapt to his defense saying yeah only humans can make art because we are unique in our ability to duplicate information from our environment but with imagined changes. If an ai takes data from it's environment, duplicates it and adapts it to it's current need that's stealing good solid union work.

Or something.

Soon it's going to be an economic thing because if you can get "good enough" at 1/1000 the price after an up front fee...all those folks who do generic voice work (soldier #3) or art work in games are gonna be out of a job. Sadly it's not enough of an industry to impact the broader economy so they will just be completely boned until automation finds a way to get rid of a much more significant fraction of the labor force. If we can get to great depression levels that might be enough.
