You can't afford to be an artist and/or author, let alone be respected

This operates on the very narrow view that the only value of art is its aesthetics, and that art can be measured against objective ratings.

I value art because it communicates something from an actual human being, like an exchanging between consciousnesses. When I can derive the choices of an author or photographer or any other class of artist, I find a mutual perspective that, at the root of it, makes me feel understanding and understood.

This article (posted here a few days ago) has a great argument on why AI art isn’t art:

Yeah, we do enjoy that human connection / communication. That's why I think we will see a lot of artists using AI to generate their art and then sell it as if it were their own and assign some deep meaning to them.
