There is social pressure to have this reaction to appear cultured, which is a bit of a confounder.

Not knocking the skill involved, being a high fidelity human rendering engine takes a lifetime of dedication as well as a base level of natural talent which very few possess.

I feel pretty confident in my ability to see through people that are faking it.

Maybe I am exaggerating my perceptiveness, but being shocked by Caravaggio paintings is not at all uncommon.

I liken camera to art as (recent) ML is to code.

The machine may threaten to usurp the mass market but the few, skilled organics will always, hopefully, have artisanal works to sell.
