God, you’ve actually hit the nail on the head; the same sorts of people who would’ve said that back in to ‘00s are the ones saying that developing art skills is “gatekeeping”.

I feel this as someone who remembers the "Wikipedia doesn't count as a real source" days, compared to the "ChatGPT told me" days of now.
