Art has no absolute value by itself. Curators and buyers give it value. So if curators will decide that some motel art or some AI art has value - we will see it displayed in a museum. Of course there are exceptions but this covers the vast majority of art pieces.
- stavros 4y agoEveryone gives things value. I don't need a museum curator to tell me I like a particular piece, even if it's motel art. If enough people like some motel art, does that not give it value? Nothing has absolute value by itself, not even gold. If there weren't people to want gold, it wouldn't be worth something by itself. Value is a people thing.

- frozencell 4y agoSome big accusation of nowhere. Do you have a bunch of recent examples?
- paulryanrogers 4y agoMoney launderers buy art, and contribute to price signaling. Arguably inflating art, whether human or AI generated. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/19/arts/design/money-laundering-art-market.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/19/arts/design/money-launder...
