Once again, what you see AI as is not relevant. Watch what's happening. The art produced is directly utilized in games, advertisements, books, movies, TV series, what have you. This is what's happening. I don't think facts will consult you personally and your opinions as to whether they exist or not. Will "execs profit" from this? Short term yes, long term no one will profit from AI, because it's abundant, and no one will have an edge in it. Profit is for those who can offer a scarce and useful resource to society. AI is not scarce at all, and it'll be only less scarce as time goes. But it will replace humans in wide swaths of fields. And we'll have to deal with the consequences. The fact that AI will not turn out profitable won't make it go away, because you won't be profitable WITH it, but you'll be completely non-competitive WITHOUT it. It's kind of like COVID. You can't get rid of it, it'll just mutate until it becomes part of everyday life and we get used to it. Even if that involves most people suddenly having no purpose in life and being dealt with as pest and deserving of their fate. We'll see what happens.
