    Simple. It’s not only about how much they have, it’s about how much we don’t have.

    They also hate that the plebeians can do things they can’t, and they want the ability to do those things themselves, immediately, but without having to put in anything as low-brow as effort or practice.

    Up until now, they had to settle for paying lots of money to get those things and keep them for themselves—witness the art gallery scene—but this poses them two problems: they didn’t actually make it, and worse, they had to part with their precious money to get it.

    Now they think AI will let them make anything they want, do anything they want, and never have to pay artists or workers, so they can keep even more of their precious money.
