> I hope AI as a technology has the same effect on the world of ART as the invention of photography had: it got rid of a lot of empty landscape copiers

I like this analogy. Maybe this time around is different, but I like to hope it's not.

The anti-AI discourse is almost identical to anti-photography diatribes from more than a century ago.

Artists will also learn to use AI to make art. I don’t mean slop, which is low effort stuff and I tend to use that term regardless of whether AI was involved. I mean real art where the AI is used with painstaking care the way a photographer uses their camera.
