‘Beautiful thing’ will indeed be massively available (as it is right now), but ‘beautiful thing touched by a human’ will always remain scarce. Only the latter will be truly considered an art object.

In that case, the value of a thing is not it's physical reality but it's provenance.

I guess it's no different than the high value given to a lot of 20th C. art, it's just another form of marketing.

Maybe this bodes well for antique prices.
