> even ai art is objectively better and cheaper than human art.

Ok I’ll bite on this. I think this reflects an incomplete understanding of what art is, and why humans make it. Sure, with enough prior examples and a bajillion tokens, you can reference the likeness of all the greatest artists who ever lived, and create stunning representations. No doubt magical.

But are these LLM-dreamed works better than what humans make? I dunno man, I think it’s a different class entirely. It’s not right to compare the two and say one is objectively better than the other.

I have come to understand that humans create art from feeling, and those gifted humans use their own personal tastes and sensibilities to transform these feelings into a representation. A human artist can generally express why and how they made what they did. They can explain the meanings and symbolism, with deep personal significance.

Art, and most works dreamed from LLMs, does not come from human feeling. It comes from examples, distilled millions of times over. But the feeling is not there.

LLMs do not understand quality. They do not have good taste. However I do feel that a lot of people don’t care about this. People want shortcuts, and most likely that’s what they’ll get, and what will be incentivized.
