AI doesn't threaten art as a medium. It threatens art as a job.

And in your opinion, would that be so bad?

Doubt it is going to stop humans from creating art, no matter how powerful the AI is. It is a fundamental human thing to do.

I'm talking inside the context of capitalism. Yes it would be nice if we had a UBI to support people but we don't. I agree that art is fundamentally human.

Outside of the context of capitalism I'm not sure AI art would be found very useful at all because its main point at the moment is remixing the same shit everyone's seen before for profit. To make mass produced lowest-common-denominator slop.

I can live with that.

I'd support a UBI so that anyone who wants to can just make art for their own fulfillment. If someone wants AI art though they should be allowed to use that.
