Is this the newest round of cope?

There is only a noticeable difference between handmade art and AI art right now because the technology has been available to the public for less than one calendar year.

Before you know it there will be no way to discern between the two, especially as AI (soon) progresses into music and video.

There will be no qualitative differences.

Is there a difference between a handmade leather jacket and a factory made coat? Or a difference between a bottle of 12 year scotch and a random bottle of Johnny Walker?

If you don’t notice a difference, then to you there IS no difference. And I would honestly say that to that person, they shouldn’t bother getting the ‘premium’ item. (I can’t tell the difference between Johnny Walker and good scotch, for instance…)

But if you DO notice a difference, then it might be worth the extra to you. Because it’s luxury. That’s what luxury is; a bit better, a bit nicer, for a bigger pricetag.

AI art will, for the foreseeable future, be derived from human art and be a synthesis of artwork that is already in existence. That’s not a bad thing! It puts random art in the hands of the people, much like mass production has done for other luxury goods. But it also means that art for arts sake (art that is done by artists to make a statement, to communicate emotion, to FEEL) will become a luxury item even more so than it is now.

Peak delusion.

The biggest issue with Ai art is this attitude that artists have no value other than 'drawing pretty pictures'.

This conceit that programmers/engineers/computer scientists have the ability to bring value to the world while artist/artisans/makers are silly hobbyists that should just stop trying to make money is shortsighted and weak.

You can say it's weak all you want, won't change reality or the way things are going to happen.
