It doesn't commoditize humans... it commoditizes art. I think as for prefering a word with financially successful artists, 1) I think they said the same about threshers, weavers, lace makers once. 2) the people who would've done those jobs are now building other things, adding to the social infrastructure that carries onward onto more advanced things and advanced arts. And the financial success is just now available to more humans, not just ones who honed their skills. the weird thing is, all this stuff is going to apply to doctors soon, which is insane. that doctors, who spend a decade studying, will be made obsolete is just.... damn.

AI art

The only people I’ve met that hate AI art don’t hate it because it’s never beautiful. They hate it because it further commoditizes humans - which could be because they’re mediocre artists, but could also be because they prefer a world with financially successful artists in it.

I also think there are many ways to value art. Some factor in the people that made it. Some judge art on a more pure sensory level.
