For me it doesn’t. I’m generating images, realistic, 2.5d, 2d and I like them as much. I don’t feel (or miss) what you described. Or what any other arts guy describes, for that matter. Arts people are different, because they were trained to feel something a normal person wouldn’t. And that’s okay, a normal person without training wouldn’t see how much beauty and effort there is in an algorithm or a legal contract as well.

The word "we" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. A large majority of consumers can't even tell apart AI-generated from handmade, let alone care who or what made the thing.

Yeah, that's just information you made up on the spot.
