    As an artist from Kenya, this mentality that people from "third world" countries are just eager to gobble up trashy rates from american or otherwise employers is stupid. Just like they don't want to pay you they definitely don't want to pay us what we are worth and expect even higher quality from us which is ridiculous. We just accept it sometimes because there is literally no other choice not that we are somehow more accepting of exploitation. I have been an artist since I was 10 going 30 now and it is offensive to me that someone will categorise all my work and experience as somehow deserving of less respect just because of the country I was born in.

      Well the thing is , West has always been at the forefront of Creation . Unfortunately the third world countries are so poor that they dnt have time or resources to invest in the creation of novel ideas. This is why most of them end up being the copycats . Ever wonder why third world countries dnt ever catch up to these Economic giants ? . Well it's becoz of that.
      A country must exercise innovation and innovation is not possible without having a vigorous institutions of Research and Development.
      The same is true for any profession.
      You will be paid more if you stand distinct but this gets harder becoz of currency as well . Since you dnt live in the west , you will always be paid less becoz of the devalued currency of your country. Coz currency exchange also plays the role .
      The solution is commodity money not the hegemony of American man printing the dollar at whims and defining the creation of value universally . This is why it will always remain the same , unless it changes.the value extraction is real .

Non più lavoro industriale dozzinale o commissioni all'acqua di rose, che tra rates più basse da altri paesi e la AI ormai sono state cannibalizzate, ma un approccio più autoriale e personale, "parasociale" per usare un termine pesante.

    It wasn't that no one knew what a freelancer was a decade ago, it's that companies have realized they get an out on treating employees like garbage and compensating, or crediting them in the case of the games industry, fairly if that worker is classified under law as an independent contractor. Companies want the freedom to cut a job for a few months to save a few bucks, and they're willing to sacrifice flexibility and continuity for it. It's not people wanting to be freelance, it's people having to be freelance because companies want to run as lean as possible to maximize profits, even if that process ultimately hurts the industry and the things they make. They couldn't care less what's going out the door, or what's going on in the building, as long as it doesn't hurt their current or future potential for infinite growth. The reason people weren't freelance before is because it's inherently precarious. The reason they are now is because the companies know they can bully their workers around without consequence.

    It sounds like there is a somewhat mutually exclusive relationship between the term "freelancer" and "expert" in your narration. I agree that the market of "freelancers" with very limited skills is oversaturated - but not for a lack of demand in general but for a lack of skill to supply the existing demand. The "skill floor" to succeed in Digital Arts is steadily rising - because tasks below that skill floor are delegated to lower wages countries and in time to AI. So yes, while freelancers below that skill floor will have an even harder time in the future, the freelancers who are above the skill floor - experts or aspiring experts - don't seem to struggle too much. Simply because employers / people commissioning work often have a very specific core idea that they want to see realised in a way they want. They don't just want "something", they want what they imagine. And while you could probably fine tune prompt after prompt after prompt until an AI spits something out that's "good enough" chances are you'll be way more satisfied and will be way more involved in the process if you get a human to work with.

    Unfortunately this is nothing new. It happens in all burgeoning industries. In the early days of the Internet there was a severe shortage of web designers and they could earn huge money - then, of course, everyone jumped on the bandwagon and the market was flooded. A major issue coming - or maybe already here - is the advent of AI created art. If you look at Artstation, or similar websites, there are literally thousands of professional quality artists. Pile AI generated art on top of those and it will be impossible for potential employers to find your work. My friend in America is an acting teacher. He told me that only 1% of 1% actually make it 'Big'. I can see the same thing happening in the visual entertainment market.

      I'm not worried about AI personally. I've had very few freelance or inhouse jobs where I was let loose with the brief and had no alterations requested. The back and forth between artist and client can be um.. 'quite robust'. Some of the alteration requests are complicated or very detailed. Someone using AI will have a hard time addressed client feedback via typing in prompt words. It would be like using photoshop with those heavy duty gloves that are attached to triple-glazed windows in nuclear research facilities.

    And I also want to add that people from third world countries have much more motivation to succeed in life and therefore they replace people from first world countries. It's not about the salary here. The stakes are higher here. Or you will change your life or live a disgusting and depressing life. They want to change their lives more than anyone and put in a lot more effort. Look at some of the most famous artists, such as Vitaly Bulgarov, who made his way from a poor country in Eastern Europe, or Jama Jurabaev, who generally grew up in a village in Tajikistan, where the average monthly salary is $100.

They will still be required for insurance. Anything required for creating content is doable because it's all pattern recognition and that is why all white collar work is at risk of being automated first, but at the same time, those same white collar workers don't want their jobs replaced so they will find a way to protect it like most of the upper class strata try to protect their status.
