Humans also invent to make hard things easier. Glorifying toil has worked fantastically as a ranking mechanism for society so far but it is surely going to fail going forward, so too indirect democracy.

I suspect a lot of art lovers like not knowing that an artist's work has very exact beginnings and egoistic motivations al a marvel movies. Rather prefer the altruistic mystery that muses were involved curating the work out of nothing for the enjoyment of all. Maybe when you know the AI has exact origins it ruins the illusion of art for you because maybe deep down you liked to be tricked by human creativity.

Are you only going to watch certified AI/CGI free movies going forward?

Art, or creativity, is the part of the movie that is not toil.

Art being made purely for the enjoyment of all is purely commercial, and so it is in some ways equivalent to toil: it is something whose sole purpose is to be consumed.

Yes, being “tricked”, in your words, by human creativity is precisely the appeal. If art were simply an equation, it wouldn’t have any meaning to it - it would simply be fact.

I’m sorry, but I think we’re talking about two diametrically opposite conceptions of art here.
