> Is anyone even making the argument that AI replaces real art? I've never seen a case of this. It's an absurd argument. It's like saying AI replaces human AI scientists. AI needs humans to create new styles of art, just like it needs AI scientists to improve. We are a long way from AI not needing humans imho The art at Burning Man is not winning awards (afaik) but people love it. There's a lot of snobbery in the art world. I think the best example of that is when Truman Capote didn't want to meet Andy Warhol because he was a window decorator and a commercial artist. I reject this kind of thinking. Then there's the money in the art world which is a other can of worms. I have no idea how AI will effect this, but I suspect there is some fear in the art world about this. It will be interesting to see.
