insightful comment. just one small criticism: there are a lot of artists out there who happen to exist within this capitalist economic system, who need to sell their art for money so that they don't starve or become homeless. and these people probably don't want their art and their style to be reproducible by ai because that would threaten their ability to house and feed themselves.
I'm all in favour of abolishing intellectual property, but only as part of a broader change to our economic system that would allow artists to support themselves without having to worry about ownership. besides, these ai tools aren't really 'sharing' art, they're just allowing big tech companies to consolidate wealth and power
finally, your point about art rarity is not really relevant to the discussion, these tools are intended for people distributing digital art, not people speculating on physical art
