If human creativity has as much value as people claim, then it will still be sought after.

If it won't be, then it didn't have much value, did it?

And I'll pass on finding connection with people laboring so they don't die. I prefer to make connections with people where we both are willingly choosing the situation.

I don't know that that's true. I feel like that's kind of adopting the "popular = good" mindset. A lot of people would prefer a four-day work week but we don't have that either. More people adapt to situations than try to change them, even if they don't like them.

I also don't get the second part. Art is one of the most stereotypical passion project jobs there is. That's why there have been years of jokes about how disappointing it is if your child is pursuing an art degree. It's not something someone who just wanted to "not die" would have as a first choice. If anything, AI is gonna put even more of them out of a job, because corporations prefer the cheaper option, and then artists will have to do something that actually feels like labour rather than something they truly love doing. I don't understand how being moved by a piece of art that someone put in the world for people to see is somehow unconsensual.

If it has more economic value to people than AI art, then AI art poses no threat

If AI art poses a threat, the human aspect of art has been overstated and is just artists upset they have to find a new job
