Going further, the latter perspective may not even be about "what art doe to others", but about being able to talk about it. This friction has been present for a long time, probably since before printed media, and way before anyone had any notions about generative AI. You can see it particularly clearly at the border between pop-culture and nerd world. Think of works like, e.g. "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings", or "Game of Thrones" - hugely popular, but you have two distinct groups that don't mix well: people who enjoy the work of fiction for its intrinsic characteristics (like lore/worldbuilding), vs. people who enjoy it as social object, giving a different flavor to the daily socializing with friends. Nerds vs. Normies, if you like. They talk past each other a lot. |
