>Still not the fault of AI
I know, AI is a tool but it does not matter.
What I understood is that a certain level of gatekeeping and adversity to learning a skill is a requirement to make art, certain sensibilities are learned through that toil that AI skips.
Ubiquity hurts quality, and scarcity drives value.
If every man in Italy had an endless supply of canvas and oil paints, would we truly see those paintings we see today? In the past I thought yes.
Now I understand the value of every renaissance artist's brush stroke and the economy thereof. It's really ironic that it was AI that allowed me to appreciate art for the first time, lmao
