This doesn't account for the fact that most people do art for their own reasons. It is cool if it gets attention and people like it, but that doesn't make the results of people's own personal creative practice "suck". The number of upvotes and the comments on reddit is a terrible way to evaluate art.

I think that this is the point that the author is trying to make (see the section "The real risk"), just in favor of AI art.
