AI can not make art.

Art at it's core is about the human experience. Something about a moment, an idea, or feeling is captured by the artist through their own lense. The translation process through the medium itself also coalesces with the artist's intention. Then another layer of translation as the observer of said art is engaging with the work on their own. Through their own lense. This makes it possible to communicate with people over a hypothetically infinite amount of time and space. It "resonates" with people because art captures energy. It is more than the sum of it's parts.

Art is magical and is uniquely human. AI does not have the human experience. The issue is NOT 'if' AI can fool a human into thinking another human made the work... Although there are concerns there too. The issue is that art is so devalued by people today that individuals think they are entitled to having art for free. They will accept cheap imitations and rob artists while doing it. To them it's the 'same thing'. I do not want to have a machine pretend to be human. I do not want to be incepted by machines who pump out endless filler with no soul. What an aweful, souless, sad state of affairs it is that humans are selling themselves out so quickly and thoroughly.
