A very interesting read. What about AI poetry? If I write the first line of the poem and AI completes the rest, have I written the poem? Obviously not. In the same way, AI Art positions us as the art director, or curator.
Shakespeare's "the world is a stage" is now fully realised. Everyone can now centre themselves with their own drama if they choose. Many do. Bruce Springsteen is now just a backdrop to ME being at his concert.
AI Art, likewise, brings new meaning to the idea of superficial. Sure it's fun, but it's all arriving with no journey.
