We (our generation) are creating less impressive works of art, media and entertainment, and it is mostly due to the insurmountable instruments at ou disposal.
You know, I've seen conversations about how the quality in anime today doesn't touch the level from the late 80's until the early 2000's and there were animators that said they don't know how to make 2D animations on paper anymore since everything is done digitally now and most, if not all, of the people that were animating back then have retired and new cost effective pipelines have been incorporated since then.
It's the same with film and shooting on 35mm over digital. Lighting looks a lot worse than even the average films from 15-30 years ago, let alone color grading.
When they used to shoot on film they had a finite amount of it, so they had to prepare extremely well and be precise before saying "Action!".
Then they would find out if the footage came out right during the dailies.
With digital you just shoot and see how the takes came out on the screen, so it's a lot more convenient and if there are problems you just shoot again without pause.
I'm an illustrator and in the beginning I was working traditionally, then moved to digital when I started to do freelance and got good at that.
In the last year I've been doing murals and painting on cars because A.I has infested the digital market and this tech will 110% make people more stupid if it's adopted (hopefully not).
The better the tech, the less skill is required and you're simply not evolving as an artist because you're not required to use the part of your brain that's supposed to find solutions for problems anymore.
As for sculpting, there are great ones out there, but for some reason sports teams seem to choose less skilled ones when it comes time to honor their GOATS.
The fact that ancient peoples like the Greeks, Romans, Chinese, Indians, and Native americans were able to do a better job on marble/rough stone is mimd bogglingly incredible.
Or maybe it's a lot harder to sculpt in in some certain metals or alloys than other materials. I can't say for sure since it's not my area, but these are pretty embarrassing in terms of likeness.
Now, with AI, we will soon begin to lose the ability ro create any artwork worth appreciating.
