As someone is not an artist I want ai to do art so I can restore my antique tractor. Of course we all have diffeent hobbies but there are also hobbies we don't want to get into but may nee.

Why?

What important problem do you have for which "AI generated art" is the answer?

You seriously want to claim you don't already have enough "content" to waste your free time consuming?

AI generated art/music/etc is the answer to people having creative vision and lacking technical expertise or resources to execute it. There are lots of stories waiting to be told if only the teller had technical ability/time/equipment to tell it. AI will help those stories be told in a palatable way.

Curation of content is also a problem, but if we can come up with better solutions there, generative AI will absolutely result in more and better content for everyone while enabling a new generation of creators.

For every good story, told well, filmed well, edited well.. theres 1000s that fail to tick one/some/all of those boxes.

AI is more likely to contribute to the 1000s.

There is unlimited content online, that doesn't mean theres 100 movies worth watching in any given year. Maybe not even 10.

Exactly

Content creation is not the problem

Content curation is

I think the parent comment mean "art" as "having fun", like playing a guitar, definitely no fun to see the robot playing it and not letting you even touch it.

Yes, and this even applies to code to a degree.

Would you rather write some code, or constantly code-review verbose, sneakily wrong junior level code?

I am unsure how ai-generated art gives you additional time to restore your tractor?

If it can create some decal close enough where nobody know the original other than fragmets that remain that helps. For common tractors we know but I'm interested in thing where exactly one is known to exist in the world.

The AI will also take over your work of restoring antique tractors, much faster and cheaper. It won't be historically accurate, and it may end up with the fuel pump connected to the radio but it'll look mostly Good Enough. The price of broken tractors will temporarily surge as they need them for training data.

Don't worry, those robots are coming!
