> There's no right or wrong about it, only the march of history. That's awful nonsense right there. The awful part is the amorality, and the nonsense is the assumption that history has a direction and it will inevitably go your way. > TFA talks specifically how the audience loves AI art if they don't know it's AI generated. No. TFA talks about an online survey with 200 participants, and even the researcher says he "wouldn’t take this result too seriously." Not once did it use the word "love." > And a few in the audience that really hate AI generated art seem to just want for there to be a meat bag with feelings involved, but not silicon beyond 90s level of Photoshop. Come on, you're cherry-picking to make the point you already had in mind. TFA article you just cited for support says "The most important result of the study is...[p]articipants gave poorer ratings to images they thought were created by artificial intelligence," which directly contradicts you here. The audience wants that "meat bag with feelings involved." Personally, I expect the audience's default assumptions to change. Digital art will be presumed to be machine generated until proven otherwise (a near impossible task), and suffer for it. BTW, you're also proving my point about the bleakness of the perspective of "AI" enthusiasts who use terms like "Carbon chauvinism."

No it doesn't conflict with what I said - think about it, they gave poorer scores to images they thought were AI generated. And they were bad at telling them apart, and thus shot down genuine human art. The actual AI art, they gave high scores because they thought it was human art. There's no morality in profit. If there's a profit to be made, a bunch of rich people will make that profit. The only way to save human art will be to have an audience watch you create it and everybody signs it with their private key. This means that human generated art will be even more valuable for collectors, not less.
