Solution: listen classical music. My god, is that a new Beethoven symphony I've never heard before?!? If AI could do that, good for AI. The problem with it...it can't. It's a problem only if you can't tell AI slop from the musical slop you already like.

Is this /s?

So... just call it quits on new culture? We got what we got? I'm no fan of AI art because I value humans over machines, but is this what you are saying?

If most people listen to music that isn't at the top of the complexity scale (can't prove that, but it sure seems likely) and 97% of people can't tell the difference.. does it matter at all that there are some minor limitations?

The only issue I can see with AI asset generation is that the models were trained by taking material the trainers didn't own. As soon as that is a settled thing (socially, by convention, law, Butlerian Jihad, I mean whatever) -- it's over folks.

Another issue to consider is that a human being wasn't involved enough in pushing forward our collective culture... so a human doesn't get paid for art. At best a human gets paid for a prompt, but no skill in creation.

Do we want a society where our value to the world is based on how profitable we are, or can we leave room for art and fancy to be valuable in the world?

Big gray boxes are efficient to build and operate, but they suck to live in.
