Most creative endeavors are not a good idea if money is your goal. Passion has to be there to begin with, lucrativeness can follow if the passion is so strong that it transmits to the audience, money is just a nice possible side effect. Either way, at least I'll feel fulfilled if the audience doesn't.

>Probably better off grinding art and crossing you fingers for AI to fail if you want to have an actual career.
I don't care about AI. I think this fear about it is exaggerated. I have my own vision that has persisted with me since I was a child. I don't have such a flimsy resolve that could be waived away when new technology arises. I plan to do more than just art anyways.

If money was my sole goal then I wouldn't drop so many toxic programmer and art friends. I could have rode their coattails for a lot of money but it's never been about that for me. I acknowledge it's required to live but as long as I make enough to not be homeless then that's fine for me.
