Yea, I never get these types of "AI killed the joy of insert hobby" arguments. By virtue of it being a hobby, I can make the conscious choice not to use AI for it. Really, there should be very few technological advances that can ever kill something that is truly a hobby (for example, people still knit, do metalworking, glassblowing, etc.). Now, if you want to get paid for working inefficiently compared to others, then yes, that will never happen.

There are some people who feel the hobby is meaningless if they know the machine is better at it.

And well, I entered the field professionally because I liked it, and I feel sort of like the rug was pulled under me. Sucks to be one of us I guess.

Those people aren’t pursuing a hobby, they’ve mentally signed themselves up for a competition with one entrant.

Where does it say anything about a hobby? The author is an entrepreneur. They're complaining that they're no longer enjoying a part of their job they used to enjoy, and your contribution is "it's a job, not a hobby, if you don't like it then boo hoo".
