This is all nonsense.

People don't want to watch two chess computers play even if they can both smoke Magnus Carlsen.

Art is an even more extreme version of this. Part of what makes a Dali painting a Dali painting is the mimetic desire of the general weirdness of the human Salvador DalĂ­.

AI can't displace human mimetic desire. AI art is just worthless muzak playing in the background at Dennys. Non-artistic/non-creative people right now are amazed at how they can make muzak but muzak is shit by its very nature.

I think you are correct too. In my opinion both takes are correct.
