It was much better when everyone bought the same photo of the Eiffel tower from IKEA for the last 30 years. Artists were super in demand and lived lavish lifestyles before AI. There’s centuries of literature which talks about how amazing the life of artists was, but now those damned computers and their capitalist owners have doomed artistic wealth and spirit forever.
Maybe it’s a weird take on the argument saying AI somehow “democratized” art.
So now instead of everyone having the same generic art from IKEA, people can instead hang some terrible unique slop on their walls you better not look at too closely.
You’re aware that not every artist has the same story as Van Gogh, right? There are a tremendous amount of people who live off of their art successfully, both currently and throughout history. Also, is capital the only thing that applies value to something in your view?

What is this even saying? Art didn’t pay well before AI so now we should pay them even less? What even is that logic?
