A post by myself, throwing around thoughts about the whole human vs. AI art debate.
I felt like writing this because most answers to that question felt more defensive to me than real answers.
TLDR; make art anyway!

This essay got me thinking about how much we rely on AI to do things for us now (literally my entire office writes emails with GPT, its hilarious to watch copy pasted AI text go back and forth), but it always comes down to that feeling of "somethings missing." when reading the outputs.
AI art can be technically impressive, but I guess it lacks the soul that comes from a human struggle to create. I know that sounds "woo woo", but the human soul isn't really easily definable.
Potentially controversial take: maybe its good if AI takes over some art jobs. It could force us to reevaluate what we consider art and push us into more experimental or conceptual territory. If AI is doing all the “commercial” art, maybe humans will explore art that’s more personal
That may be true philosophically speaking, but people have spent a lifetime perfecting crafts/techniques that are now commodified by a robot, thereby displacing them in the job market. So if you ask the question "did AI make the artists lives better", the answer is a bit nuanced depending on the criteria. From a financial perspective it definitely disrupted their ability to make a living on something they sunk a bunch of time into because the market is now flooded with cheap imitations that require no human touch.
