Or, maybe, we have to accept that art and all the grandiose and deep narratives around it are bullshit. It's an illusion, it's just a tool so some of us feel more important.

All that crap about not being made by humans is just the fear that the illusion of grandeur of humans might collapse.

Art is in the act of creating it. Not in the final product to be bought and sold on the market.

A kid coloring is making art. The joy they get in the making is the art and is the point.

I feel sorry for so many people in this thread who keep approaching this from the point of view of consumer markets. It doesn't matter if someone can determine an AI colored picture from a child's. The AI derives no joy in the creation. It's not art, but a copy.

I do get the sense sometimes that the more extreme anti-AI screeds I've come across have the feel of narcissistic rage about them. The recognition of AI art threatens things that we've told ourselves are "special" about us.

Correct.

And especially artists, or people aspiring to be artistic, are suffering from an inferiority complex which they try to hide behind grandiose "higher values" of art.

AI threatens to expose that art is meaningless unless you can use it to distinguish yourself from the plebs, or those you deem plebs.
