As an artist, I was excited about the implications of getting paid for your work each time it sold, but have not seen that facet explored in the tech news I follow here and elsewhere.

Of those still in the space, what does the landscape look like? Did it pan out better or worse than you expected? Has the technology led to any unforeseen problems or solutions that came from time spent on the tech?

Truly curious, seeing as we are in what I would call a similar cultural moment with what I’ve been seeing made and written about “agentic” AI.
