No, I’m simply taking your arguments to their logical conclusion. Art exists in the first place because humans make it, because art helps us to make sense of existence. Art is not merely a byproduct of capitalist relations, it is a core human activity. It’s existed in every kind of economy humans have made.
It’s what it is. Yes, it’s bad, but the alternative is having people not make art, and that’ll just break all of us. Until we live under a different set of relations, this is what we have to work with. AI is making that measurable worse for artists. Just ask artists about that…

Yeah, that’s not what AI is going to do. It’s so far just a lot of hype and bullshit. It’s not going to replace people making art or doing almost anything else that depends on creativity. That’s a fucking pipedream pushed by corporations who wish to make sure that all art is corporate art, and no one gets to make it otherwise.
