Art without human input is pretty meaningless. It's just pretty colors, even if well executed. I guess there are people that vibe purely on kitch aesthetics. They don't have good taste ofc, but I guess from a capitalist perspective that's a market.

People are confused because since the 1960s literally the CIA intervened to disrupt the transmission of meaning in art, because it was a field dominated by "subversives" who were opposed to capitalism and imperialism. They promoted meaningless post-modern art that was purely aesthetic. So decades later, starved of good examples, people have no idea what art is anymore.

Then no one that makes art is in danger. AI is just replacing the 'Art' that is not really art and just some paid painting.

“Art wasn’t supposed to look nice, it was supposed to make you feel something.”

A weird facsimile of art that has no soul is entirely uninteresting.
