I think that's a pretty interesting conversation, I see two sub-questions: 1) Is our intuition that art requires effort some remnant of the labor theory of value applied to art? 2) Is it simply that as something requires less effort to make it redefines the baseline for what is considered beautiful, and thus to create something that stands out requires more effort than what's commonly available to everyone?
