AI is destroying capitalistic artistry. The concept of people who do nothing but art is itself a product of capitalism. Before capitalism, we all worked, and we all sang, and we all drew pictures, and we all told stories. It is only capitalism that enabled the artistic expressions of a tiny fraction of the population to drown out that of the rest of us. Well, too bad, we're taking creativity back. Your voice, your words, your pictures don't get to be ten thousand times louder than the average person's anymore and you can't stand it. Generative AI isn't ripping the soul out of the enlightenment, it's ripping the monopoly on cultural influence out of the hands of the tiny fraction of people who've completely dominated it for two hundred years.
